Pont Willy-Brandt, Modern bridge in Nantes, France
The Pont Willy-Brandt stretches 203 meters across the Loire River, featuring a central span of 92 meters and concrete construction with prestressed elements.
The bridge opened to traffic in February 1995 after simultaneous construction with the Pont des Trois-Continents, representing a major infrastructure development for Nantes.
Named after Herbert Karl Frahm, known as Willy Brandt, the German Chancellor and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, the bridge symbolizes French-German cooperation.
The structure measures 21.6 meters in width, accommodating vehicle lanes alongside dedicated pathways for pedestrians connecting the railway station area to Île de Nantes.
The bridge utilizes cantilever construction techniques with precast segments, demonstrating advanced engineering methods in bridge construction during the 1990s.
