The Viaduc de franchissement de la rocade de Rennes is a cable-stayed footbridge and metro bridge designed by Norman Foster and completed in 1997 in Rennes, France. Rising 35 meters above the surrounding urban landscape, the structure combines prestressed concrete and steel in its construction, exemplifying Foster's characteristically elegant approach to infrastructure design. The bridge serves to connect the city across the rocade (ring road), functioning simultaneously as both a pedestrian crossing and a transit link, integrating modern engineering principles with the urban fabric of central Rennes.
