Condrieu Suspension Bridge

Highlight • River

The Condrieu suspension bridge spans the Rhône between the towns of Condrieu in the Rhône department and Les Roches-de-Condrieu in the Isère department. The suspension bridge consists of two spans separated by a central concrete pylon forming an arch, in which the metal suspension cables are anchored. The entrance to the bridge is marked by two concrete pylons that receive the cables on the banks. These are connected to the deck by hangers. The deck, with its metal frame and reinforced concrete cover slab, carries a two-lane, two-way roadway, bordered by sidewalks lined with guardrails.
The current Condrieu bridge is the second bridge to be built at this location; it replaces an earlier structure constructed in 1832 and declared to be in very poor condition in 1929. The 1934 work was barely completed when the bridge was closed in June 1940 due to an act of war. A cable ferry was put back into service to restore the river crossing. In spring 2025, due to structural weaknesses, the bridge was closed to traffic for several months while new cables were installed and reinforcement work was carried out.

View of the Rhône River and the Condrieu Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Cycling along the banks of the Rhone on the Quai Frédéric Mistral in Condrieu is a pleasant experience with panoramic views of the river and the impressive bridge connecting Condrieu to Les-Roches-de-Condrieu.

ViaRhôna Bike Rest Area and Facilities, Condrieu

Highlight • Rest Area

Currently not in operation, had to spend the night on February 21-22, 2025. Unfortunately I couldn't sleep well because my tarpaulin was so loud. Otherwise great place to sleep, toilet available and clean, if necessary you could sleep in the toilet.

Île de Sablons

Here the Rhone meets the Canal du Rhone. It is right next to the Via Rhôna cycle path. There are plenty of wildlife to watch. An ideal green setting to enjoy nature!
