France - Pont de la Guillotière 吉約蒂耶爾橋





 

Stamp Issue : 1939-07-03 

Bridge of the Guillotière(Pont de la Guillotière), also formerly known as Rhône Bridge is the oldest arch bridge over the Rhone, in Lyon, in east-central France. The bridge was constructed 1894, with spans in metallic arches on stone columns, but was destroyed during the retreat of the German army in September 1944. It was demolished in 1952 and replaced by a wider girder bridge, with a metallic structure in 1953.


吉約蒂耶爾橋原來也稱羅納橋,是跨越羅納河上最老的一座拱橋,座落法國中東部的里昂。
這座橋建造於1894年,金屬跨拱支撐在石墩上,但在1944年9月被撤退的德國軍隊摧毀,1952年拆除改建,1958年此橋被一座寬闊的金屬結構梁橋取而代之。
