Also called Pont Hennebique, it was built for the 1905 Exhibition to allow visitors to reach the Vennes plain, the Halls and Gardens districts. Built by the French engineer Hennebique, it is the 1st reinforced concrete structure (an innovative technique for the time) in Wallonia.

I would add that very large-scale work was carried out on this same occasion to dry out the swamps present from Rivage en pot to the plain of Droixe, created by the annual floods of the Ourthe creating a different landscape each year.
Liège was one of the 3 richest cities in the world at that time! Let’s not forget that!
Much has changed since!
