Pont Gallieni, Transportation bridge in central Lyon, France
The Pont Gallieni spans across the Rhône River with three steel spans, connecting the Perrache district to the 7th arrondissement of Lyon.
Originally constructed in 1848 as a suspension bridge named Pont du Midi, the structure was renamed in 1916 to honor General Joseph Gallieni.
The bridge integrates both road and rail transport systems, reflecting Lyon's commitment to diverse transportation methods within its urban landscape.
Two tram lines, T1 and T2, traverse the bridge alongside vehicle traffic, with pedestrian access provided by 3.75-meter-wide sidewalks on each side.
The current 204.80-meter steel structure, completed in 1965, features seven steel girders resting on tapered stone piers typical of Lyon's architecture.
