Bizerte Bridge, Road bridge in Bizerte Governorate, Tunisia.
The 105-meter steel bridge spans across the Bizerte Canal, featuring a bascule mechanism that lifts to allow maritime traffic passage underneath.
Engineer Jean Kérisel designed this infrastructure project in 1980, incorporating a Scherzer type bascule system to meet transportation needs in northern Tunisia.
The bridge, known as الجسر المتحرك ببنزرت in Arabic, represents a meeting point between Mediterranean maritime routes and land transportation networks.
The structure rises 15 meters above water level and supports over 44,000 vehicles daily, connecting different sections of the Bizerte region.
The bridge operates with a specialized lifting mechanism that allows large vessels to pass through while maintaining regular road traffic flow during closure periods.
