Pont Guillaume le Conquérant, Steel road bridge across Seine River in Rouen, France.
Pont Guillaume le Conquérant is a steel bridge that crosses the Seine River in Rouen, connecting both banks of the city. The structure features a distinctive yellow-orange frame and stretches 240 meters across the water.
Architects Arthur-Georges Héaume and Alexandre Persitz designed this bridge, which opened in 1970. It replaced the earlier transporter bridge and became a key transport link for the city.
The bridge bears the name of William the Conqueror, a Duke of Normandy, reflecting the strong historical connection between Rouen and Norman heritage.
The bridge carries Route Nationale 138 and can be crossed on foot to enjoy views of the Seine's banks. The best time to cross is during daylight to fully see the steel details and surroundings.
The bridge is highlighted at night by blue lighting that dramatically sets off its steel structure against the sky. This nighttime illumination makes it a striking landmark along the Seine's industrial waterfront.
