Pont Raymond Barre, Tram bridge in Confluence district, France
The Raymond Barre Bridge spans 260 meters across the Rhone River, connecting the Confluence and Gerland districts of Lyon with three distinct sections.
The bridge construction began in November 2011 and finished in September 2013 as part of the T1 tram line extension project, costing 19 million euros.
The structure bears the name of a former Lyon mayor and represents the evolution of transportation infrastructure in France's third largest city.
The 17.5-meter wide bridge accommodates tram line T1, cyclists, and pedestrians, providing direct access between the Confluence Museum and Gerland metro station.
The steel deck structure weighs 3,400 tons and required assembly at Port Edouard-Herriot before being transported by barges to its final location.
