Pont de Bourret, Suspension bridge in Bourret, France.
The Pont de Bourret spans 173 meters across the Garonne River with three cable-stayed sections measuring 69, 65, and 53 meters respectively.
Built between 1912 and 1914 by Ferdinand Arnodin following Albert Gisclard's engineering method, this bridge replaced earlier versions destroyed by floods in 1843 and 1875.
The bridge became a social center until 1989, hosting annual beach events and Miss pageants near its Garonne riverbank location every August 15th.
The structure remains closed to all traffic since 1989 when a new viaduct on route D928 redirected the flow of vehicles away from the village.
The bridge features a distinctive structural design with triangulated trusses and an indeformable deck suspension system, representing Gisclard's engineering innovation.
