Pont de Kérino, Swing bridge in Vannes, France.

The Pont de Kérino connects both sides of the harbor through a central rotating mechanism that allows maritime traffic to pass underneath.

The construction of this bridge marked a turning point in the development of Vannes as a port city, enhancing transportation between different districts.

Local residents gather near the bridge during maritime events to observe boats passing through the rotating structure while exchanging stories.

The bridge operates according to tidal schedules, with specific opening times coordinated by the harbor master to maintain efficient maritime traffic flow.

The structure features an engineering system that rotates horizontally, maintaining a minimum water depth of 2.10 meters for vessels passing through.
