Pont de Pornic, Railway bridge in Pirmil district, Nantes, France
The Pont de Pornic spans 253 meters across the Loire River, featuring metal and masonry construction elements that support rail transport in western France.
Built in the 1870s for the Nantes-État to La Roche-sur-Yon railway line, the bridge underwent major reconstruction after sustaining damage during the 1944 bombings.
The bridge structure represents a significant example of 19th-century French railway engineering, marking the industrial development period in the Loire region.
The former second railway track has been converted into a cycling path, allowing both train transport and bicycle circulation across the structure.
From the Trentemoult area, the bridge frames the Beghin-Say factory, creating an industrial landscape that reflects the city's manufacturing heritage.
