The Pont Cassé de Bohan, emblem of the Ardennes village, spans the Semois and formerly supported a tram line. Dynamized and rebuilt during the Second World War, it was definitively destroyed by the Germans in 1944. Used for only two years, it lost its utilitarian function but remains a safe place to walk and a symbol dear to the Bohanais. This bridge is often photographed and features on many local logos.

This is all that remains of a bridge which was used by the old tram line between Gedinne and Bohan, and which was dynamited twice during the Second World War, first by the French, then by the Germans, to slow the enemy's advance. You can access the bridge from rue des Epeautés in Bohan, and follow the path which runs along the Semois.
