The Pont de Saint-Georges is more than just a bridge connecting the districts of La Praille and La Jonction. It’s a silent witness to Geneva’s industrial evolution. Look at the bridge, imagine its construction in 1882, a symbol of progress that opened the door to a new era on the left bank of the Arve River. The Pont de Saint-Georges was a vital link in the city’s transportation system. It was part of a grand plan to expand the ‘semi-autoroute des Jeunes’ to reach the Cornavin station. This bridge is aptly named after the plateau of Saint-Georges, a high point overlooking the river and the Bati forest. Today, the tram crosses the bridge as part of the extension from Cornavin to Confignon. You can actually feel the pulse of modern Geneva on this seemingly ordinary structure. The Pont de Saint-Georges, a bridge of the past, present, and future.
