COLLECTION BRIDGE
A remarkable lift bridge linking the rue de Siam to the Recouvrance district, one of the oldest symbols of Brest.
Completed in 1954 to replace the "National" swing bridge destroyed during the Second World War, this 88 m lift bridge, with 70 m pylons, was for many years the largest in Europe. It overlooks the arsenal and links Rue de Siam to Recouvrance, separating Brest into two banks: the "Yannicks" on the right and the "Ti-Zefs" on the left. In 2011, it was modernized for the tramway, with a five-meter longer span and corbels for a wider pedestrian promenade. The bridge embodies Brest's history and remains a cherished symbol for photographers and cartoonists.
