Morand bridge, Road and metro bridge in Lyon, France
The Morand Bridge spans 187 meters across the Rhone River with two prestressed concrete boxes connected by steel braces supporting both vehicle and rail traffic.
The original wooden structure from 1774 underwent multiple reconstructions, including a replacement after World War II damage, until the current concrete version opened in 1976.
The bridge stands at a central position in Lyon's urban landscape, connecting neighborhoods while facilitating the flow of vehicles, trains, and pedestrians across the Rhone.
The bridge incorporates metro tracks beneath the road surface, with stairways providing direct access to the underground station for public transportation users.
The structure features large shear keys on its northern piers that support tall light posts, creating a distinct architectural element at the bridge's extremities.
