Passerelle de Bry-sur-Marne, Iron footbridge between Bry-sur-Marne and Le Perreux-sur-Marne, France

The pedestrian bridge stretches 82 meters across the Marne River with a width of 3.7 meters, featuring a steel truss structure and oak planking.

Constructed between 1893 and 1894 under Gustave Eiffel's supervision, the bridge replaced a water crossing that had been destroyed in 1874.

The footbridge represents a significant example of late 19th-century industrial architecture and is listed in the general inventory of French cultural heritage.

The bridge connects Rue du Bac in Le Perreux to Rue de la Pépinière in Bry-sur-Marne, providing direct access between the two communities.

During World War II, French military engineers destroyed one span of the bridge in 1940, which was initially rebuilt with wood and later restored with steel.
