Nouveau pont de Gien, Concrete bridge in Gien, France
The Nouveau pont de Gien is a reinforced concrete bridge that crosses the Loire River and links Gien with Saint-Martin-sur-Ocre in the Loire Valley region. The structure was built to handle significant traffic flow with a straightforward design featuring multiple concrete spans.
Construction started in 1977 and the bridge opened to traffic in 1980, fulfilling the need for improved transport links across the Loire. The project addressed long-standing connectivity challenges between these two communities.
The bridge represents a shift in French engineering practices, featuring six prestressed concrete spans and one reinforced concrete span across the Loire Valley.
The bridge carries Route D940 and handles two-way traffic with dedicated zones for vehicles. You can walk across or view it from nearby areas along the river.
The bridge deck consists of a prestressed concrete box girder, constructed through successive cantilever methods with specific safety features integrated into its design.
