Pont Guillaume le Conquérant, Steel road bridge across Seine River in Rouen, France.

The Pont Guillaume le Conquérant spans 240 meters over the Seine River, connecting both banks of Rouen with its yellow-orange steel structure.

Engineers Arthur-Georges Héaume and Alexandre Persitz designed this bridge, which opened on February 23, 1970, replacing the previous Rouen Transporter Bridge.

The bridge bears the name of William the Conqueror, a Duke of Normandy, reflecting the strong historical connection between Rouen and Norman heritage.

The structure carries Route Nationale 138 and stands between the Joan of Arc Bridge upstream and the Gustave-Flaubert Bridge downstream.

Blue lighting illuminates the steel bridge at night, creating a visible landmark along the Seine River's industrial waterfront.
