Pont Daydé

Pont Daydé is a pedestrian and cycling bridge spanning the Seine in Boulogne-Billancourt with a steel frame topped by oak decking. The structure stretches about 143 meters and features non-slip surfaces to keep walkers safe in wet conditions.

The bridge was completed in 1928 to help workers reach the Renault factory on Seguin Island across the water. It marks a period when this area was a major industrial hub in the region.

The bridge now serves walkers and cyclists exploring the transformed riverbanks where factories once dominated the landscape. It reflects how industrial areas are being converted into places for people to spend leisure time.

The bridge is easy to access on foot or by bike and provides clear pathways for both users. The non-slip surfaces ensure steady footing even when wet from rain or morning dew.

The bridge was constructed under unusual conditions, with night work and teams of up to 16 workers laboring simultaneously to meet deadlines. These extraordinary efforts allowed the project to finish quickly despite its technical demands.
