I wonder if anybody has an understanding of the way it was built. You can see the two platforms in this photo, but they don’t seem to support it much, especially the left one seems more like an access structure than a support structure. Did it keep up by being anchored only to the side foundations during construction?
When I was a kid in the 90s, there was a homeless guy in Gare helping kids with their maths homework. He had worked on the bridge as an engineer. Should’ve asked him, but young me was not much interested in these things back then…

Did they start construction in 1949?
Red? It‘s obviously gray in the pic. /s
That’s amazing. Thanks for sharing it.
