Pont de Tolbiac, Bridge in Paris, France

The Pont de Tolbiac extends 168 meters across the Seine River, connecting the 12th and 13th arrondissements through its five elliptical arches.

Architects H.P. Bernard and J.D.A. Pérouse constructed the bridge between 1879 and 1882, after the city council rejected a design proposed by Gustave Eiffel.

The bridge represents the final major Parisian bridge built using traditional stone masonry techniques, marking the end of an architectural era in the city.

The structure serves as an essential connection point in the Paris road network, with the Cour Saint-Émilion metro station providing convenient access.

The bridge foundations rest on cement blocks, incorporating engineering techniques that were advanced for the late 19th century construction period.
