Pont Saint-Christophe, Steel bridge in Lorient, France
The Pont Saint-Christophe extends across the Scorff River with a main span of 219 meters and a width of 15 meters, connecting Lorient and Lanester.
Before the construction of the first bridge in 1823, people crossed the Scorff River by ferry, which remained profitable for the department until that time.
The bridge location near the 15th-century Saint-Christophe Chapel and Trefaven Castle, inhabited since 1320, forms part of the local heritage landscape.
The structure accommodates both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, serving as a primary transportation link between the municipalities of Lorient and Lanester.
Remnants of a temporary wooden bridge built by German forces during World War II can still be observed in the Scorff River during low tide.
