Pont transbordeur de Marseille

Le pont transbordeur ( ou pont à transbordeur) de Marseille, inauguré en 1905 et détruit en 1944, est un ouvrage de franchissement du Vieux-Port de Marseille construit par l’architecte Ferdinand Arnodin. Nacelle du pont transbordeur Historique[modifier | modifier le code] En France, on accorde l'invention du pont à transbordeur à Ferdinand Arnodin.

Ce système de pont a pour intérêt de ne pas perturber le trafic maritime. Description[modifier | modifier le code] Le transbordeur de Marseille était du type « à contrepoids et articulations ». Le transbordeur est composé de deux pylônes de 86,60 mètres de haut et de 240 tonnes chacun. Fonctionnement[modifier | modifier le code] En haut se trouvait un restaurant de poissons où bouillabaisse et langoustes étaient au menu. Dans les années 1930, il ne servait plus que de décor, suite au manque de moyens pour assurer son entretien. destruction[modifier | modifier le code] Old Pictures. 2011 In Pictures: The Year of the Protester. 2011 will be remembered most of all as the year of people power, with unprecedented numbers of ordinary citizens taking to the streets throughout the world to protest against old systems of power.
