Bridge Construction

8,000 tons of steel and concrete make up the robust structure, ensuring durability and safety. Stretching over 300 meters, the bridge spans across 12 railway lines, providing a seamless connection between the athletes' village to the west and the Stade de France and Olympic aquatic center to the east. The project is divided into five main sections, each of which will be assembled on the ground and then lifted into place using a sophisticated system of strand jacks.

Architectural Impact

The design concept turns the bridge into a semi-enclosed space that offers a reprieve from the bustling urban environment. By merging the functionality of a bridge with the ambiance of a public concourse, the Pleyel Bridge is set to become a key feature of the city, providing not only a route from point A to B but also a place to pause and enjoy the surroundings.

Social Impact

The Pleyel Bridge is a modern marvel that encapsulates the evolution of urban infrastructure, transforming a mere crossing into a central public amenity that enhances the city's landscape and serves the community in multiple ways.
