Pont de la Porte de France, Tram bridge in Grenoble, France

The Pont de la Porte de France is a tram and road bridge that crosses the Isère River in central Grenoble, spanning about 109 meters. The structure links both riverbanks while carrying cars, a tram line, and pedestrians on separate routes.

The original bridge from 1893 was a metallic steel structure in the Eiffel style, but eventually became outdated. Between 1956 and 1958, it was replaced with a new reinforced concrete design that still shapes the city today.

On 14 May 2019 Grenoble's municipal council added the name of Kofi Annan, UN Secretary-General from 1997 to 2006, who died in August 2018. A plaque was placed at the city-centre entrance of the bridge on the day of the inauguration. The bridge itself takes its name from the Porte de France, a monumental gate built in 1620 during the fortification of the city by the Duke of Lesdiguières.

The bridge has two lanes in each direction for cars and separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists. Access is easy from anywhere since it sits centrally in the city and connects important areas on both sides.

The bridge crosses the Isère at a 70-gradian skew rather than perpendicular, so it meets the round Place Hubert-Dubedout head-on; six major avenues radiate from that circle. The old 1893 bridge stood slightly upstream.
