France - Pont de Recouvrance 雷克蘭斯橋





 

Stamp Issue : 1957-07-06 

Recouvrance Bridge (Pont de Recouvrance) is a movable bridge across the River Penfeld in the city of Brest in the Finistère department in Brittany in north-western France. Opened on July 17th, 1954, it was the largest vertical lift bridge in Europe until the opening of the Pont Gustave-Flaubert in 2008.
Each pylon of the bridge is 70 meters high and its 525-tonne moving cradle is 88 meters long. It links the bottom of the rue de Siam to the quartier de Recouvrance, replacing a swing bridge destroyed by Allied bombardment in 1944.


雷克蘭斯橋是一種活動橋,跨越彭非爾河,位於法國西北部布雷斯特區菲尼斯泰爾省的布列斯特市。橋在1954年7月17日啓用,直到2008年古斯塔夫-福樓拜橋落成之前,它一直是歐洲建造的最大垂直升降橋。
橋的主塔各高70公尺,載重525公噸的托架長88公尺,橋梁底部連結西埃姆街盡頭到雷克佛蘭斯區,取代了1944年被盟軍轟炸摧毀的平旋橋。
