the new choisy-le-roi bridge, france by jacques ferrier architectures crosses the RER C suburban express railway lines serving passenger traffic to and from the southern paris region.

the 70 m long bridge has a traffic lane in each direction contained within wide footpaths to either side. connecting the recently rehabilitated port district with its housing, amenities, offices and imprimerie nationale workshops as well as avenue anatole france to the town centre, the bridge is an essential element in guaranteeing the success of this new district which, until now, has been cut off from the city due to its location between the railway lines and the river seine.
