Pont de l'Île Barbe, Suspension bridge in Lyon, France
The Pont de l'Île Barbe consists of two metal spans connecting both banks of the Saône River through the Île Barbe island.
Constructed in 1827 by engineer Favier following Marc Seguin's suspension bridge models, it replaced an older wooden structure from 1734.
The bridge provides access to Île Barbe, a former monastic island that holds significant religious heritage in the Lyon region.
Vehicle traffic between Caluire and the island remains restricted since 2020, with reconstruction planned between 2025 and 2027.
The central pier on Île Barbe functions as both a tower from the island perspective and as a gateway when viewed from the bridge.
