Pont du Faisan, Swing bridge in Strasbourg, France
Pont du Faisan is a swing bridge crossing the Ill River in Strasbourg that opens to allow river traffic to pass underneath. The structure combines steel and wood elements and sits at a key crossing point in the city's layout.
The original crossing here was a wooden bridge dating to the 14th century. The current iron and steel structure replaced it in 1888.
The bridge's name reflects local history and a connection to the natural world that shaped the city's identity. It remains part of daily life for those who cross it regularly.
The bridge is reached via Rue des Moulins with public transport stops nearby within easy walking distance. The crossing is accessible at all times and straightforward to navigate.
The bridge received a complete overhaul in 1999 with updated hydraulic systems while keeping its historic appearance. This blend of old looks and new mechanics is what makes it noteworthy.
