Pont de Bellevue, Highway bridge in Sainte-Luce-sur-Loire, France.
Description
The Pont de Bellevue is a road bridge over the Loire River near Sainte-Luce-sur-Loire that connects the two banks. The structure consists of two parallel sections spanning the full width of the waterway.
History
The first section of this bridge was built between 1968 and 1970, marking the initial highway crossing over the Loire near Nantes. The project was part of regional infrastructure development during the second half of the 20th century.
Culture
The bridge serves as a vital link in the Nantes metropolitan area, representing the engineering achievements of French infrastructure development in the late 20th century.
Practical
The bridge handles heavy daily traffic and connects important road networks on both sides of the Loire. Visitors should know this is an active route and pedestrians can only access certain viewpoints along the structure.
Did you know?
The structure uses prestressed concrete box girders and support pillars mounted on submerged foundations, which enables the bridge to span the Loire without bulky supports in the water. This engineering approach became influential for later river crossing projects in the region.
