Pont Jacques Chaban Delmas

The Pont Jacques Chaban Delmas, a marvel of modern engineering, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural prowess. This striking concrete-and-steel bridge, unveiled in 2013, is not just a means of crossing the Garonne; it is an experience in itself. What sets it apart is its unique lifting mechanism, where the deck stays parallel as it gracefully ascends to allow ships to pass beneath. The bridge’s sleek, contemporary design, with four towering pylons illuminated in blue and green at high and low tides, adds a touch of artistry to its functionality. Visitors are treated to a captivating fusion of form and function, offering a glimpse into the harmonious coexistence of modernity and maritime tradition.
