Pont Saint-Hubert, Suspension bridge in Plouër-sur-Rance and La Ville-ès-Nonais, France.
Pont Saint-Hubert is a steel suspension bridge that crosses the Rance River, linking Plouër-sur-Rance and La Ville-ès-Nonais in Brittany. The structure spans about 286 meters and relies on thick steel cables anchored to concrete towers on both sides.
An original bridge was constructed between 1913 and 1928, but it was destroyed by bombing in 1944 during World War II. The current structure was built in 1959 to replace the damaged crossing.
The bridge represents a significant engineering achievement in Brittany, marking the connection between the Côtes-d'Armor and Ille-et-Vilaine departments.
The bridge handles daily traffic from around 3000 vehicles and has weight restrictions for vehicles crossing it. Pedestrians can also use it, but should follow posted safety guidelines.
The Saint-Hubert Bridge stands as the only suspension bridge in the Ille-et-Vilaine department, requiring continuous monitoring by civil engineering services.
