(C) P.Rodrigues &R.Santos

  Construit entre 1903 et 1905 suite à une démarche initiée pour l'Expo Universelle de 1900. Il s'appelait alors, viaduc de Passy. Il fut rebaptisé en 1949 en souvenir de la victoire en Libye du général Koening , en juin 1942.

The Bir Hakeim bridge was built in the years 1903-1905 after a request had been made for its construction as an adjunct of the Universal Exposition of 1900. For many years it was called the Passy Viaduct, but in 1949 was renamed as a tribute to General Koenig's June 1942 victory in Libya.
