Paris Métro Line 6 runs across the upper deck of the Pont de Bir-Hakeim in western Paris, approaching Passy station from the Left Bank side of the Seine. The steel viaduct forms the bridge’s upper level above a lower roadway and pedestrian crossing, part of a two-tier structure completed in 1905. Line 6 is one of the capital’s principal elevated métro routes, and this river crossing links the 15th and 16th arrondissements near the Champ de Mars and Trocadéro.
