Pont de Bezons, Tram bridge in Nanterre, France
Description
The Pont de Bezons is a bridge across the Seine connecting Nanterre and Colombes on the left bank with Bezons on the right bank. The structure carries both regular vehicle traffic and the T2 tram line, spanning approximately 205 meters over the river's curve.
History
The structure was originally built in wood in 1811 under Napoleon I and had to be reconstructed multiple times after damage from warfare. The reinforced concrete form that exists today emerged from major rebuilding efforts following wartime destruction.
Culture
The bridge takes its name from Bezons, the town on the right bank of the Seine. Today it serves as a daily crossing point for commuters and residents who rely on it to move between communities.
Practical
The bridge is open for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicle traffic, providing access to the T2 tram which links the area to major transit hubs. Visiting during early morning or late afternoon hours offers less crowding compared to peak commute times.
Did you know?
The bridge became the site of a commemoration ceremony in 2021 honoring historical events from October 17, 1961. This gathering marked a significant moment of remembrance at this crossing point.
