Matilda Bridge

The Matilda Bridge extends 584 meters across its span, featuring a central section of 115 meters that demonstrates advanced engineering capabilities.

In 2012, a truck accident caused severe fire damage to the bridge structure, leading to its closure and subsequent extensive reconstruction until 2014.

The bridge design by architects Philippe Fraleu and Pierre Loyer represents modern French infrastructure development while connecting different neighborhoods of Rouen.

Multiple access points along the bridge allow for efficient traffic distribution across both sides of the city, reducing congestion during peak hours.

The reconstruction process required a specialized barge and CS600 climbing system to position the 1000-ton repaired bridge segment during specific tide conditions.
