Deir ez-Zor suspension bridge

The cable-stayed bridge extends 460 meters over the Euphrates River, featuring iron and steel construction with a height of 36 meters.

French construction company Fougerolle built this infrastructure project in 1927 during the French Mandate period to connect Syrian communities.

The bridge functions as a central gathering location where residents meet for social activities while watching the flowing waters of the Euphrates.

The structure provides essential pedestrian access between different sections of Deir ez-Zor, connecting the eastern and western parts of the city.

Local residents refer to this crossing point as a symbol of endurance, standing through multiple regional conflicts since its construction.
