Pont Éric-Tabarly, Cable-stayed bridge in eastern Nantes, France

The Pont Eric-Tabarly extends 220 meters across the Loire River, featuring a single 55-meter-high pylon and steel construction with cable support systems.

The bridge construction began in 2009 with significant foundation work, including provisional trestles for crane installation and concrete pouring for the main pier.

Named after Nantes-born navigator Eric Tabarly, this bridge represents the city's connection to maritime heritage and modern urban development.

The structure accommodates separate lanes for public transportation, cars, cyclists, and pedestrians, connecting Malakoff district to Ile de Nantes.

Three deck segments arrived by river transport to the construction site, where they were progressively assembled to form the complete bridge structure.
