“Positioned at the heart of the Euratlantique project, Pont Jean-Jacques Bosc offers a hyperlink between the municipalities of Bègles and Floriac.” says OMA. “But a lot more than simply connecting two points of land separated by water, the bridge itself also delivers a generous new public space in the city.”

“Its considerable 44m by 545m expanse, a continuous surface stretching well beyond the banks of the river, seamlessly connects to the land. The gently sloping surface enables a pedestrian promenade whilst still allowing the necessary clearance for boats beneath. All traffic modes – like private automobiles, public transport, bicycles and foot visitors – are accommodated by its width, with the largest allowance devoted to pedestrians.”

Says Clément Blanchet, director of OMA France: “The bridge itself is not the ‘event’ in the city, but a platform that can accommodate events of the city. We wanted to supply the simplest expression – the least technical, least lyrical, but the most concise and powerful structural resolution.”
