Pont Aval

The Pont Aval is a concrete bridge that crosses the Seine River, connecting the districts on both banks near the city's western edge. It measures about 321 meters in length and 35 meters in width, carrying traffic across four lanes between the two districts.

The bridge was built in 1968 as part of the Boulevard Périphérique, the ring road that circles Paris. It was constructed to improve traffic flow and connect the western districts more efficiently.

The bridge takes its name from its position as the last crossing point over the Seine within Paris city boundaries. It connects two neighborhoods on the western edge and forms part of the daily commute route for residents and workers in the area.

Pedestrians and cyclists can cross the bridge along with vehicles, though the structure is primarily designed for car traffic. It is easily reached from surrounding residential areas and business districts.

The bridge marks the point where the Seine River leaves Paris city boundaries and flows into the surrounding suburbs. This makes it a geographically important location between the city and the outlying areas.
