Project ›› Bridge Raymond Barre, Lyon

Located on the river Rhône and linking the “Confluence” area to the “Gerland” area (near the football stadium), the bridge Raymond Barre is dedicated to soft transport including tramways, pedestrians and cyclists.


This major civil engineering project, designed with arches by the architect Alain Spielmann, measures 260 meters-long and 17,50 meters-width.

Coming to Lyon from the southern motorway “the Sun Motorway”, we can see the up-lit side of the bridge.
