Morand bridge, Road and metro bridge in Lyon, France

The Morand Bridge is a prestressed concrete box-girder bridge over the Rhone, linking Lyon's 1st and 6th arrondissements. Line A of the Lyon metro runs inside the deck, while cars, cyclists and pedestrians use the surface. Its shallow deck has a pale green top edge and rests on two thick piers standing in the water on wider bases.

A wooden bridge occupied this location starting in 1774 but was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times over the following centuries. The current concrete version was completed in 1976 after the site was damaged during World War II.

The bridge is named after Jean-Antoine Morand, the urban planner who built the first wooden crossing here in 1774. It has carried several names: pont Saint-Clair, pont Rouge or de Bois, pont Affranchi in 1793, pont Rouge des Victoires in 1794, and pont Morand, attested in 1810. On 22 November 1831, the second day of the canuts revolt, a bloody fight took place at the bridge.

The bridge carries the line A metro inside its deck, with cars, cyclists and pedestrians on the surface. In 2023 one eastbound car lane was removed to widen the two-way cycle path and the pavement along the southern side. It links place Louis-Pradel on the west bank with place du Maréchal-Lyautey on the east.

The current bridge was designed as the first of two twin crossings, part of the Morand-Martinière breakthrough project. That plan was partly abandoned, so the second bridge was never built. The present structure also sits on a different alignment from its predecessors, which followed the old cours Morand, now cours Franklin-Roosevelt.
