Pont suspendu des Andelys, Suspension bridge in Les Andelys, France

The Pont suspendu des Andelys is a road suspension bridge over the Seine between Tosny and Les Andelys, the only crossing between Courcelles-sur-Seine and Saint-Pierre-du-Vauvray apart from the Muids-Bernières footbridge. Its two pale stone towers, each pierced by a large upper arch and a smaller lower one, carry the main cables and vertical suspenders above a grey deck with white lane markings and low railings.

A first suspension bridge, 163 m long with a single arch, opened in 1838, built by engineers Ferdinand Jean Bayard de la Vingtrie and Marie Fortuné de Vergès and financed by a toll concession. It was destroyed preventively in 1870 before the Prussian advance. A stone bridge with four basket-handle arches, 181.60 m long and 7.20 m wide, opened on 1 December 1873 at a cost of 300,334 francs. In 1914 work began on a metal suspension bridge by Ferdinand Arnodin, inaugurated in 1920; it was blown up on 9 June 1940 during fighting against German forces.

The bridge takes its name from Les Andelys and links two communities that would otherwise be separated by the river. Local residents rely on it as a daily route across the Seine.

The bridge has a dedicated pedestrian path on its right side for safe crossing. The area around it is easily walkable and there are viewing points along the riverbank.

The bridge underwent major overhauls of its cable and suspension systems starting in 1988 and continuing through recent years. These upgrades have allowed it to safely carry thousands of vehicles daily.
