The Medersa Bridge (Constantine)
The city of Constantine, located in the north-east of Algeria, is characterized by a unique geography. Sitting on an enormous rock dug in the middle by the Rhummel ravine, it contains numerous bridges which were built to connect the two parts of the city. In addition to their practical aspect, these bridges are true works of art.
The Medersa Bridge
This bridge built between 1917 and 1925 is reserved for pedestrians. It measures 125 meters long and 2.40 meters wide. It connects the station area to the city center via a staircase or the Medersa elevator located halfway between the Sidi Rached bridge and the El Kantara bridge. The Medersa Bridge (formerly Perrégaux) currently called the Mellah Slimane Bridge, illustrates the technique of suspension bridges and is a reduced model of the Sidi M'cid bridge. In 2002, it underwent a major restoration operation.
