The Wurtemberg Footbridge, a remarkable 65-metre-long and two-metre-wide metal structure, is now open to the public. This impressive architectural piece, located at the bottom of Avenue Pasteur, is a key element of the mobility plan aimed at promoting pedestrian travel.

This important infrastructure connects the Fontvieille district with two elevators that also serve the Honoré II Promenade, the future access to the new college, various entities within the Pasteur block, and the soon-to-open Wurtemberg Parking.

With the completion of this project, the entire western part of the Principality can now be traversed without the need for a vehicle, stretching from the upper entrance of the Principality to Fontvieille. Since the opening of the Salines Parking, which features 1,800 parking spaces at affordable rates at the western entrance of the Principality in April, it is now possible to take the Salines pedestrian gallery and then the Wurtemberg Footbridge to reach Fontvieille.

The mobility plan is gradually being implemented to alleviate urban traffic, promote soft mobility, and offer alternatives to individual vehicles. The aim is to encourage everyone to adopt the transportation solutions that best suit their needs.
