Port à l'Anglais Bridge, Cable-stayed steel bridge in Alfortville, France
The Port à l'Anglais Bridge spans 250 meters across the Seine River, connecting the municipalities of Alfortville and Vitry-sur-Seine with its steel structure.
The construction of this transportation link commenced after a design competition in 1912, and the bridge opened to traffic in 1928.
The bridge demonstrates the evolution of French engineering practices, incorporating both traditional masonry towers and modern steel construction techniques.
The structure accommodates two lanes of vehicle traffic and includes dedicated pathways on both sides for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the Seine.
Engineers implemented a specialized suspension system using diagonal stays instead of main parabolic cables, reducing the overall material requirements for construction.
