Bridge over the Garonne of Muret, Road bridge in Muret, France

The old bridge of Muret, also called pont d'Eaunes, is a straight road bridge over the Garonne, aligned with the allées Niel and leading to the Barry district and Eaunes. Its steel beam deck, laid in 1993, rests on four masonry piers; the nearest pier is built of light tan stone blocks on a wider stone base, and a reddish rectangular patch marks the pier behind it. The deck carries two road lanes and sidewalks, edged with a metal railing and tall, thin light poles.

A first bridge was built under the charter of 2 June 1203, wooden on stone piers, with a statue of the Virgin in one arch. In 1213 the people of Muret burned it to delay Simon de Montfort's entry after the Battle of Muret. Floods destroyed later crossings in 1727 and 1875; the 1878 metal truss deck was replaced in 1993 by steel beams on the same four masonry piers.

Locals call it pont d'Eaunes because it leads to that commune. From 1905 to 1938 the metre-gauge Tacot de la Lèze train from Toulouse-Roguet to Sabarat also crossed it. The medieval bridge held a statue of the Virgin in one arch, and the confrérie de l'Œuvre du pont managed its budget and that of the adjoining hospital.

The deck carries two road lanes plus sidewalks, and since 2016 pupils of collège Bétance have proposed adding a cycle lane. The GR 861 Via Garona long-distance footpath passes beneath the bridge on the right bank of the Garonne. The structure is owned by the Haute-Garonne department, which had both Muret bridges inspected in 2011.

The bridge carries the GR 861 Via Garona long-distance footpath on the right bank of the Garonne; inaugurated in July 2017, the route follows the river from Toulouse to Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges. From 1905 to 1938 the metre-gauge Tacot de la Lèze railway from Toulouse-Roguet to Sabarat also crossed here.
