Léopold-Sédar-Senghor bridge, Steel bridge over Loire River in Nantes, France
The Léopold-Sédar-Senghor Bridge spans 298 meters across the Pirmil arm, connecting Saint-Sébastien to the Île de Nantes with five support piers.
The bridge construction project, initiated through a design competition in 2005, reached completion in September 2010 with a total investment of 26 million euros.
The municipal council of Nantes named this structure after Léopold Sédar Senghor, a poet and former president of Senegal, reflecting the city's maritime heritage.
The bridge incorporates separate lanes for vehicles in the center while providing dedicated spaces for cyclists and pedestrians along its 17-meter width.
The structure features two distinct riverside walkway levels and linear gardens with grasses and umbellifers, representing the local Loire region flora.
