New Bridge: 'Pont à Fourchon' - Haute Deûle River Banks in Lille
To draw the bridge in Fourchon, that crosses the canal of the Haute Deûle, lift bridge with a metallic structure, is part of the will to replace water in the heart of the neighborhood. The Ateliers de Paysages Bruel-Delmar addresses this artwork, with the engineers Stucky and Venna, as the expression of a continuity of urban practices, a unique occasion to raise awareness of the Haute Deûle plain’s territory, in front of the water garden Leblan-Lafont.
