Pont Esclangon, Modern bridge in Grenoble, France.
The Pont Esclangon spans 138 meters across the Drac River and A480 highway, connecting the municipalities of Grenoble and Fontaine through its concrete structure.
Completed in 1986, the bridge was named after Felix Esclangon, a former director of the Grenoble Polytechnic Institute, marking significant urban development in the region.
The bridge functions as a central meeting point where residents gather during local events while serving daily transportation needs of the Grenoble metropolitan area.
The structure incorporates three spans measuring 38, 62, and 38 meters respectively, supported by two piers and abutments made of prestressed concrete for maximum stability.
Engineers implemented deep foundations with driven piles to address Grenoble's challenging soil conditions, ensuring the bridge's long-term structural integrity.
