Hidden in plain sight, the Pont du Grand-Chany whispers tales of a forgotten Geneva. This unassuming bridge, spanning a mere 82 meters, carries more than just traffic. It carries the echoes of a locality mentioned in the Atlas Mayer. Pont du Grand-Chany, a name rooted in the whispers of the past, likely refers to a grand oak tree that once graced this area. Now, it gracefully arches over the bustling Route de Colovrex, a silent observer of the modern world rushing beneath it. Imagine the scene in the past. A grand oak, perhaps a gathering place, a marker on the landscape. The Pont du Grand-Chany stands as a bridge between those times and our own. The official decree of the Conseil d’Etat defines it simply: “the bridge on the Route de Colovrex which spans the motorway.” But we know it’s more than just concrete and steel. It’s a tangible link to Geneva’s past, nestled within the Aéroport – fret, Les Blanchets sector of Grand-Saconnex. Pont du Grand-Chany patiently awaits the curious traveler, ready to share its quiet story.
