The old footbridge that stretched across the central station was not the prettiest site, but since 12 December it has been replaced with a sleek, curved bridge, connecting the Bonnevoie and Gare district, as well as all train platforms.
Besides the staircase to platforms the bridge also has six elevators, which allow barrier-free access.
The old footbridge was perceived as being rather dark and there were occasional reports of thefts. The new bridge is modern, brighter with glass walls and has a wider walkway.
