Due
to his structure and cable wire system that
maintains it as stable as a cobweb, the bridge was
baptised the spider bridge.
Hanging from the elastic, bungee jumpers look out
like a spider hanging from its own string.
That is why a beautiful spider painted by the
artist Berthod can can be spotted on the cliff
that over hangs the Navizence river. |
| The suspended
bridge of Niouc was build in precarious conditions
in 1922. His goal was to bring water to the hamlet
Briey and allow its crossing by the inhabitants or
goals, then for years after the bridge stayed
shilt to public.
In 1996, about
tweny volunteers worked hard to get this famous
bridge renovated and improved.
After reflacing
each wooden board, applying barrels of paint,
controlling its staties, foundations, sensity and
ancrage the bridge was opened up again to the
public.
This bridge is
suspended in the enpty at a height of 190 meters
and is 190 meters long and 50 centimeters wide. It
is sourrounded by imposing cliffs.
