Built in 1902, the bridge was blown up in 1940 in order to slow down the progress of the German army. Left for several years in a state of ruin, it will receive the nickname of "broken bridge". It will be necessary to wait until the beginning of the 2000s to see the appearance of a temporary footbridge. After many projects, the current footbridge was finally built in 2013.

The passerelle du Breux is a bridge in Chassepierre, a village in the Belgian province of Luxembourg. The bridge is built on the pillars of an old bridge that was destroyed during World War II.

An old bridge that appeals to the imagination. Old bridge piers carry the new bridge deck.
A successful combination between the past and present. Bridges thus continue to connect people and landscapes.
