Pont du Drac, Tram bridge between Grenoble and Fontaine, France
The Pont du Drac spans across the Drac River with its tied-arch design, connecting the districts of Europole in Grenoble with Fontaine.
Initially constructed in 1827 as the Sassenage Bridge, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1938 and experienced partial collapse during a flood in 1954.
The bridge transformation from vehicular traffic to dedicated tram, bicycle, and pedestrian paths reflects the evolution of urban transportation preferences.
The bridge extends 135 meters in length with a main span of 55 meters, incorporating separate lanes for trams, cyclists, and pedestrians.
This crossing point stands as the first bridge over the Drac River in Grenoble, marking the beginning of urban expansion toward Sassenage canton.
