Pont Saint-Ludovic, International road bridge at France-Italy border
The Pont Saint-Ludovic spans across the border between Ventimiglia, Italy and Menton, France, serving as a vital transportation connection between the two nations.
Construction of the bridge began in 1959, with the Italian section completed in 1964 and the French portion finalized in 1969, marking a new era of cross-border infrastructure.
The bridge opening ceremony in 1964 featured Swedish student Eva Nordenskjold as the first person to cross this new connection between Italian and French territories.
Located 9 kilometers from Ventimiglia and 2 kilometers from Menton center, the concrete arch bridge accommodates regular vehicle traffic between both countries.
The Italian plaza features a colorful panel with the message 'Porta d'Italia - dove la bellezza non ha confini', celebrating its role as Italy's gateway.
