Pont ferroviaire de la Mulatière, Railway bridge in Confluence, Lyon, France

The Pont ferroviaire de la Mulatière spans across the Rhône River with metal and concrete construction, connecting multiple railway lines through Lyon.

Engineers completed the current structure in 1914, replacing earlier wooden versions that served transportation needs between Lyon and Saint-Étienne since 1830.

This bridge forms part of the Ponts de la Mulatière complex and maintains recognition in the French general inventory of cultural heritage monuments.

The structure measures 182 meters in length and accommodates regular rail traffic, serving as a crucial connection point in Lyon's transportation network.

During World War II, this railway bridge remained one of the few crossing structures in Lyon that survived the widespread destruction of September 1944.
