Pont Pierre-Corneille, Steel bridge in Rouen, France.
The Pont Pierre-Corneille extends 288 meters across the Seine River, connecting both banks of Rouen through the île Lacroix with vehicle lanes and pedestrian paths.
Following its destruction during World War II in 1940, architect Jean Démaret designed the current bridge structure, which was inaugurated on July 19, 1952.
The bridge bears the name of Pierre Corneille, a French playwright from Rouen, and features artistic railings created by metalwork designer Raymond Subes.
The structure maintains a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour and serves as part of departmental road 840, linking Rouen with Verneuil-sur-Avre.
The bridge incorporates three distinct segments, with steel construction methods from the 1950s demonstrating post-war engineering techniques in French infrastructure development.
