Lonely Planet review for Sidi M'Cid Bridge

The Sidi M'Cid Bridge is Constantine's iconic monument, its image defining the city. It is a 164m-long suspension bridge, opened to traffic in April 1912. The bridge links the casbah to the slopes of Sidi M'Cid hill. Views of town and the gorge 175m below you are stunning and, in spite of movement, the bridge is quite safe; in 2000 twelve of its cables were replaced.

Unfortunately, in recent years this bridge (and the others around town) have become popular for suicides, as it seems that the majority of Constantine's suicides are people jumping off the bridges.
