The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the Dordogne river here, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous Tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.

Worth seeing and impressive bridge, even with a cycle path. Nice view of the railway bridge too.

Great view of the Dordogne 🤩, beautiful bike path outside the traffic!

Here we find the second bridge of the city, built by Gustave Eiffel between 1879 and 1883. You have in front of you more than 1.5 kilometers to enjoy the view in the saddle.

On the one hand, the Pont Eiffel is history of technology and on the other hand, the view of the Dordogne is beautiful.

The triple with 9% was my highlight

This road bridge, built by Gustave Eiffel between 1879 and 1883 has a length of 1,545 m, and a length of spans of 553 m. It is divided into 8 spans, including 6 of 72.80 m and 2 of 57.60 m, 33 m high. The Cubzac bridge is built, as a replacement, on the foundations of an old suspension bridge which had been swept away by a storm. Unlike the previous one, this one will be fixed with a straight metal beam. The number of piers and abutments is increased to 9, to support these beams. In imagining this bridge, Gustave Eiffel innovated again by combining launching processes from both sides and cantilevering for the central part. On part of the beam of the bridge already built by launching, we hang cantilevered, by bolting, the iron parts which follow it and, once they are riveted, we use them as new support points for bolting the following parts. By walking in this way step by step, one manages to mount the successive pieces completely in a vacuum on the span, until one has reached the neighboring support where, using jacks, one raises the bridge the amount it had lowered by bending. This bridge was destroyed during the Second World War and then rebuilt in 1946-1947 by Jacques Eiffel, the grandson of Gustave Eiffel. Its access ramp is supported by stone arches which, seen from below, are presented as giving it the appearance of a Gothic cathedral, whereas they are simple semicircular arches. It is accessible from the port all year round free of charge. The Cubzac bridge, wrongly called "Saint-André-de-Cubzac bridge", is indeed located in the municipality of Cubzac-les-Ponts and not in that of Saint-André-de-Cubzac, capital of the canton. . The rehabilitation works carried out in 2016-2017 provided an opportunity to build a cantilevered cycle bridge over all the structures. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pont_routier_de_Cubzac

This bridge was built by Gustave Eiffel in 1883 and had to be overhauled in 2018. And: today is still loadable at 19 t. Would that be nice for German highways! The whirlpools are highly dangerous. They are created by the confluence of the river flow with the game of tides.
