Pont suspendu d'Ancenis, Suspension bridge in Ancenis-Saint-Géréon, France
The bridge spans 412 meters across the Loire River, featuring a main span of 238 meters supported by reinforced concrete pylons and steel cables.
The original 1839 bridge was destroyed during World War II, leading to the construction of the current structure that opened on January 18, 1953.
The bridge connects the regions of Brittany and Anjou, with decorative coats of arms representing both territories displayed on its supporting structures.
Route nationale 763 crosses the bridge, accommodating approximately 14,000 vehicles daily, including heavy trucks traveling between the northern and southern banks.
The bridge's engineering design allows for cable tension adjustments without requiring extensive maintenance work, following innovations by Ferdinand Arnodin.
