Ponts de Thouaré, Two metal bridges in Thouaré-sur-Loire, France
The Thouaré bridges span the Loire River with two consecutive structures, connecting Thouaré-sur-Loire to Saint-Julien-de-Concelles through the Chesnaie Island.
The bridges, completed in 1882, underwent partial destruction during World War II and were reconstructed to their original specifications after the conflict.
These transportation structures mark the first road crossing point on the Loire upstream from Nantes until the construction of Bellevue Bridge in the late 1960s.
The northern Grand Bridge extends 392 meters while the southern Haut-Village Bridge measures 212 meters, together serving approximately 10,500 vehicles daily.
The bridges feature ten intermediate spans of 45 meters each and two bank spans of 39 meters, supported by twelve masonry piers.
