Pont des Arméniers, Suspension bridge in Sorgues, France
The Armeniers Bridge spans a branch of the Rhone River with a main span of 157 meters and a semi-rigid walkway of 2.30 meters width.
Construction of the bridge began in 1925 under engineer Backes from Lyon, replacing the former cable-guided ferry boats used for river crossing.
The bridge name derives from Provençal language, reflecting the local linguistic traditions and heritage of Rhone riverside communities.
The bridge has been closed to traffic since 1975, but a renovation project plans to reopen it for pedestrian use.
This structure connects Sorgues to Oiselay Island, a 450-hectare area historically dedicated to grain and sugar beet cultivation.
