    The Recouvrance Bridge is a lift bridge that crosses the Penfeld in Brest, Finistère. Dominating the arsenal and military port, it connects the lower part of Rue de Siam with the Recouvrance district and replaces the swing bridge (National Bridge), which was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1944.

    Inaugurated on July 17, 1954, it was for a long time the largest lift bridge in Europe. Each reinforced concrete pylon is 70 m high. The current movable steel span, installed in 2011, is 88 m long, 15 m wide and weighs 625 tons.
