The new bridge that spans the Garonne river is not just a mode of transportation for motorists, but also caters to pedestrians and cyclists. With a length of 549 meters and a width of 44 meters, it is the widest bridge in Europe. It connects Floirac on the right bank with Bègles on the left bank.
Featuring two lanes for cars, two lanes for buses, a cycle path, and a forecourt for pedestrians, this bridge is designed to prioritize the safety and convenience of all road users. Its innovative design aims to encourage sustainable modes of transportation while accommodating the needs of motorists and public transport users. The bridge promotes an efficient and balanced use of road space by providing dedicated lanes for various types of vehicles.
The completion of this bridge marks a significant milestone in efforts to create more accessible and inclusive transportation options for residents and visitors in the area. From Wednesday, July 3, it will be open for use by the public, marking the beginning of a new era in transportation connectivity. This bridge offers not only functionality but also provides a scenic view of the Garonne river and surrounding landscape. It serves as a symbol of modern infrastructure development and sustainable urban planning, contributing to overall quality of life in the region.
Bertrand Arnauld de Sartre has been overseeing this project for almost four years as its project manager. He ensures that different lanes are clearly defined and accessible by overseeing final touches on road markings.
Overall, this new bridge represents a major achievement in creating more accessible transportation options for everyone in the region. It shows how innovation can lead to better solutions that benefit everyone involved.
In conclusion, this new bridge is more than just an infrastructure project; it’s an essential step towards creating an inclusive community that values sustainability and accessibility.
