Pont Georges-Guingouin, Modern road bridge in Limoges, France.
Pont Georges-Guingouin is a modern road bridge that crosses the Vienne River and links the A20 motorway with the RN21 highway. It spans approximately 175 meters and features parallel arch supports with concrete construction that helps direct traffic between different parts of the city.
The bridge was named after Georges Guingouin, a French Resistance fighter who played a key role in liberating Limoges during World War Two. The official naming ceremony took place in 2015, honoring this historical figure's significant actions.
The bridge structure combines engineering precision with architectural elements, featuring parallel arches and refined concrete finishes that reflect regional construction techniques.
The bridge carries heavy daily traffic and serves as a key junction in the city's road network. Visitors crossing on foot should be aware that peak hours can be congested, so alternative pedestrian routes might be preferable.
Since 2006, the bridge has served as the starting point for an annual half-marathon event that takes runners through the city and surrounding areas. This yearly race has made it a gathering point for athletes and spectators.
