Pont Lorois, Suspension bridge in Belz, France
The concrete Pont Lorois stretches 237 meters across the Ria d'Etel, connecting the Pays d'Auray to the Pays de Lorient through metal decks and steel cables.
Initially constructed in 1851 as a toll bridge, Pont Lorois underwent reconstruction between 1954 and 1956 after destruction during World War II Allied bombings.
The bridge stands near Port Niscop, where sailors built a memorial cave to honor their fellow mariners who perished at sea.
The structure carries the D9 route between Auray and Port-Louis, providing the only crossing point between the two banks of the Ria d'Etel.
The bridge combines nineteenth-century stone arches on both banks with modern reinforced concrete portal frames anchored to the ground.
