Pont suspendu de Jargeau, Suspension bridge in Jargeau, France

The Pont suspendu de Jargeau extends 270 meters across the Loire River, connecting the communities of Jargeau and Saint-Denis-de-l'Hôtel.

The original bridge, constructed in 1834, underwent reconstruction in 1847 and suffered damage during the Franco-Prussian War before being repaired in 1872.

The bridge represents early developments in French engineering, marking a period of infrastructure advancement along the Loire River in the 19th century.

The current structure, dating from 1927, replaced the original bridge with improved steel wire cables to accommodate modern traffic requirements.

The bridge's design incorporated five spans of 54 meters each, utilizing iron chain cables that demonstrated the engineering capabilities of the period.
