The bridge was commissioned from the Daydé company in 1913 ; Commissioning took place in 1920. From then on, the railway no longer had to drive through the city center to the shipyards . In 1986 the bridge was locked in the vertical position. The restoration began in 2007 and ended on June 26, 2009. Since then, the viewing platform can be reached at a height of 42 m using an elevator. On the first floor of the bridge there is an exhibition about how the bridge works.
