Varennes-Montsoreau Bridge, Steel road bridge over Loire River at Montsoreau, France.
The Varennes-Montsoreau Bridge extends 600 meters across the Loire River, featuring a steel construction with a main span of 50 meters.
Construction of the bridge started in 1901, but its opening was delayed until 1917 due to the First World War circumstances.
The bridge links the communities of Montsoreau and Varennes-sur-Loire, creating a vital connection between these two historical riverside settlements.
Located at coordinates 47.222411, 0.046822, this structure serves as an essential crossing point for vehicles and pedestrians in the Maine-et-Loire department.
During World War II, French forces partially destroyed the bridge to slow German advancement, leading to subsequent reconstruction that maintained its original design.
