Pont de la Caille, Suspension bridge in Allonzier-la-Caille and Cruseilles, France
The Caille Bridge rises 147 meters above the Les Usses river, stretching 192 meters between two municipalities in Haute-Savoie.
The bridge opened on July 11, 1839, under the name Charles-Albert Bridge, and remained the longest suspension bridge in the world for 73 years.
Engineers Paul-Léon Lehaître and Émile Fulrand Belin designed this structure using advanced construction techniques, including twelve cables supported by four towers.
The bridge now serves pedestrians and cyclists while motor vehicles use the adjacent concrete Pont Caquot, constructed between 1924 and 1928.
The structure features an inverted arch support system with three separate cable planes, representing early developments in suspension bridge engineering.
