Bridge in Brittany, France
The Pont de Recouvrance (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃ də ʁəkuvʁɑ̃s] vertical-lift bridge in Brest , France, across the river Penfeld . Opened on 17 July 1954, it was the largest[clarification needed vertical-lift bridge in Europe[citation needed until the opening of the Rouen Pont Gustave-Flaubert in 2008. It links the bottom of the rue de Siam to the quartier de Recouvrance , replacing a swing bridge (the pont National ) destroyed by Allied bombardment in 1944.
Each pylon is 70m high, and the 525-tonne lift span is 88m long.
Trolley bus
[ edit ]
The bridge was crossed by trolleybuses from its opening in 1954 until the closure of the Brest trolleybus system , in 1970.[1]
Trams
[ edit ]
The lift span was renovated in 2011 to allow the new tram line to cross the bridge. The tram line opened by July 2012.[2]
