The new Pegasus bridge
Pegasus Bridge, originally called the Bénouville Bridge after the neighbouring village, is a road crossing over the Caen Canal, between Caen and Ouistreham in Normandy. The original bridge, built in 1934, is now a war memorial and is the centrepiece of the Memorial Pegasus museum at nearby Ranville. It was replaced in 1994 by this modern design which, like the old one, is a bascule bridge. (Wikipedia.)
The original bridge played an important part in the June 1944 Normandy Landings.
The brutalist style architecture contrasts with the cheerful mural created by schoolchildren. Let's hope that they never experience anything like the events of June 1944.
