Pont du Pecq, Heritage bridge in Le Pecq, France.
The Pont du Pecq, also known as Pont Georges-Pompidou, is a concrete bridge spanning 176 meters across the Seine River in Le Pecq. It connects the two banks and carries traffic along departmental route 186.
The current structure was built in 1963 and represents the eighth bridge at this location, with the first version dating to 1627. The bridge received its present name in 1996.
The bridge displays two travertine sculptures representing the rivers of Seine-et-Oise on its structure. These artworks shape how the crossing looks and give it a local artistic character.
The bridge lies between Pont de l'Île de la Loge and Viaduc ferroviaire du Pecq and is easily accessible from both sides of the river. Pedestrians and cyclists use this crossing alongside vehicles and should expect regular traffic.
In 1884 the bridge became an official rescue station for drowning victims, serving a purpose beyond everyday transportation needs. This humanitarian role remains less known than its function as a traffic crossing.
