Kerisper Bridge, Road and arch bridge between La Trinité-sur-Mer and Saint-Philibert, France.
Description
Kerisper is an arch bridge spanning the Crach River between two Breton coastal towns. Its main arch opens up 86 meters wide to let river traffic flow underneath while carrying vehicles and pedestrians across.
History
The current structure was built in 1959 to replace an older bridge damaged during World War II. This reconstruction was part of the wider effort to rebuild infrastructure across the region after the war.
Culture
The bridge connects two harbor towns where people have built their daily lives around boats and water-based activities. You will see sailboats and fishing vessels as a normal part of the landscape here.
Practical
The bridge is open to both cars and people on foot, serving as the main connection between the two towns. It is easiest to cross during calm weather, and you can enjoy the water views from the deck as you walk across.
Did you know?
The design allows sailboats and larger river vessels to pass under the tall arch without bumping into the bridge. This was a key consideration when building it, so that boat traffic on the river could continue without interruption.
