Hesperange: Pont Victor Bodson
Pont Victor Bodson is best known in Luxembourg for carrying the A1 motorway across the Alzette valley. The cable-stayed crossing stands on the eastern side of Hesperange, where the motorway links Luxembourg City with the German border and Trier beyond it. Its tall pylons and fan of steel cables make the bridge a prominent work of modern road engineering above a wooded stretch of the valley. It commemorates Victor Bodson, the Luxembourg politician and former justice minister who helped people fleeing Nazi persecution during the Second World War; Yad Vashem recognised him as Righteous Among the Nations. Hesperange lies immediately south of the capital along the Alzette, in one of Luxembourg’s well-connected suburban corridors.

Hesperange has served as a settlement in Luxembourg’s Alzette valley since the 9th century. Just south of Luxembourg City, the commune follows the Alzette through parkland, former farmland and growing residential neighbourhoods. The ruins of Hesperange Castle rise above the river, preserving a tangible reminder of the area’s medieval past. This setting gives the town a quieter identity than the capital while keeping it closely connected to the country’s political and cultural centre. Local paths along the valley provide an easy way to encounter the river landscape that shapes this part of Canton Luxembourg.
