Pont de Confolent, Suspension bridge over the Loire in Beauzac and Saint-Maurice-de-Lignon, France.
The Confolent Bridge extends 140 meters across the Loire River, featuring a main span of 110 meters and a single-lane roadway.
Engineer Adolphe Boulland constructed this bridge in 1863 to replace a ferry service and improve access to the municipality of Beauzac.
The bridge piers display an architecture influenced by medieval towers, incorporating decorative battlements and machicolations.
The bridge enables light vehicle traffic between the municipalities of Beauzac and Saint-Maurice-de-Lignon in the Haute-Loire department.
The original wooden deck was replaced with metal boxes in 1978 to meet modern traffic requirements.
