Until 1929, it held the title of the world's highest bridge at 175 meters.The bridge links the Casbah, Constantine's old city, to Sidi M'Cid hill, offering pedestrians and vehicles a direct route. The bridge's hybrid cable-stayed suspension design has been compared to the Brooklyn Bridge. The Sidi M'Cid Bridge provides breathtaking views of the Rhumel River gorge and the city of Constantine. A unique natural bridge lies almost directly beneath the span, partially obscuring the river from view.The bridge underwent restoration in 2000, during which twelve of its cables were replaced.
