Pont de Sully, Road bridge in 4th arrondissement, France
Pont de Sully is a road bridge spanning the Seine River in Paris, connecting the Right Bank with Île Saint-Louis and the Left Bank. The structure consists of two separate parts that meet at the eastern tip of the island.
Built in 1876, the bridge replaced two earlier pedestrian suspension bridges from the 19th century. Those older crossings were lost to damage and collapse, making way for a new, more durable passage across the Seine.
The bridge takes its name from Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully, a powerful minister under King Henri IV. This naming choice keeps alive the memory of an important historical figure whose influence shaped France.
The Sully-Morland metro station on line 7 is the nearest public transit access, located on the Right Bank side. The bridge is straightforward to cross on foot and opens onto neighborhoods on both sides of the river.
The bridge has two distinctly different structural sections designed to meet the particular demands of its location. The southern half uses cast iron arches while the northern portion features a different engineering approach, creating an asymmetrical composition.
