Lattre de Tassigny bridge, Steel bridge across Rhône River in Lyon, France
The Lattre de Tassigny Bridge extends 150 meters across the Rhône River, featuring eight Egyptian-style columns that support steel cables and infrastructure.
The current bridge, opened in 1956, replaced the Louis-Philippe Bridge from 1849, which suffered structural damage from floods and required demolition in 1953.
The bridge name commemorates Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, a French military commander who led forces during World War II and left a lasting impact.
The structure includes a 20-meter-wide roadway and two sidewalks measuring 2.5 meters each, accommodating vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians crossing the Rhône.
Eight Egyptian columns line the bridge, earning it the local nickname 'Egyptian Bridge' while providing structural support for the cable system.
