Opening of the Wurtemberg Footbridge Extension

As part of efforts to improve pedestrian connections between the Salines car park and the Fontvieille district, the extension of the Wurtemberg footbridge has been open to the public since 23 April 2026.

From the exit of the Salines gallery, this new footbridge now provides direct access to two lifts and a staircase, newly constructed as part of the project. At this stage, these facilities serve Place Wurtemberg (level PW, as indicated in the lifts). By the end of May 2026, they will provide a direct connection to Avenue de Fontvieille (level AF). The footbridge itself corresponds to level PS.

Until now, pedestrian access to this area relied primarily on lifts shared with the different levels of the Wurtemberg car park, making journeys less direct. The new dedicated facilities will progressively improve the flow and comfort of pedestrian routes between the Salines car park and the Fontvieille district.

The commissioning of this extension also makes it possible to dismantle the temporary staircase installed at Place Wurtemberg, thereby allowing the continuation of development works in this area.

This project forms part of the Prince’s Government’s broader approach to improving pedestrian connections between the different districts of the Principality, both for everyday travel and during periods of high footfall.
