A multimodal bridge in the heart of Bordeaux
The Simone Veil Bridge represents a major challenge for the Bordeaux metropolitan area. This exceptional new modular public space, designed as a multimodal link between Bordeaux and the towns of Bègles and Floirac, is intended to improve the flow of traffic between these changing areas and relieve traffic congestion on the other bridges.
Following on from the quays of Bordeaux, the new infrastructure, exceptional in its width, its atypical layout with 20 m wide pavements and monumental benches, cycle lanes, tramway lanes and road lanes, is intended to be more than just a crossing: extra wide, it is intended to be a veritable esplanade and living space linking the tree-lined public spaces on either side of the structure.
By making the overall platform as smooth as possible, it must also meet the Metropole's demand for an upgradeable bridge, with spaces that can be easily redistributed on demand to host events (concerts, exhibitions, sporting events, etc.).
