Pont du Maréchal-Joffre, Steel bridge in Orléans, France

The Pont du Maréchal-Joffre extends 334 meters across the Loire River, featuring four steel beams supporting a concrete deck for vehicles and pedestrians.

The bridge, completed in 1958, replaced the previous Pont Neuf structure that French forces destroyed in 1940 during the Second World War.

The bridge takes its name from Marshal Joseph Joffre, a French military commander who led forces during the First World War.

Three traffic lanes and dedicated pedestrian paths connect both sides of Orléans, providing a central crossing point between Pont George-V and Pont de l'Europe.

The structure incorporates riveted high-resistance steel beams measuring 1.80 meters in height, positioned at three-meter intervals throughout the span.
