Salah Bey Viaduct
جسر صالح باي
A cable-stayed bridge opened in 2014, more than 1,100 meters long. It is Constantine’s newest city landmark and viewpoint.
The Salah Bey Bridge, also known as the Rhumel Crossing, was built by a Brazilian company and opened to traffic in 2014. It is about 1,119 meters long, with a single-pylon cable-stayed main span across the Rhumel valley. It is named after Bey Salah, an 18th-century ruler. Its white pylon contrasts with the city’s old stone bridges, and it lights up brightly at night. Since the bridge is mainly for vehicles, the best views are from the bridgehead or the high ground to the south. You can also ride across it to feel the height.
