Pont de Bondy, Road and tram bridge in Seine-Saint-Denis, France
The Pont de Bondy is a road and rail bridge over the Ourcq Canal, on the former RN3 at the boundary of Bondy, Bobigny and Noisy-le-Sec. It carries the T1 tram, whose stop bears the bridge's name, along with RATP bus lines 105, 146, 147, 234 and 322. The T1 station is due to connect with metro line 15 around 2030.
The Pont de Bondy carries the former Route nationale 3, the historic road from the porte de Pantin to Forbach and Saarbrücken, across the Ourcq Canal; it is one of the few crossings of the canal on that axis. The surrounding area, once industrial, is covered by a rehabilitation plan for Bondy, Bobigny, Noisy-le-Sec and Romainville, to which the European Union committed 6.3 million euros from the ERDF in 2010.
The bridge lies where Bondy, Bobigny and Noisy-le-Sec meet, and the T1 tram stop of the same name carries the name Pont de Bondy. The former RN3 it carries once linked the Porte de Pantin to Forbach and Saarbrücken. Nearby, an Olympic pool built for the 2024 Games hosted water-polo training, then passed to the Noisy-le-Sec water-polo club, with 50 m and 33 m pools.
The area is an active transportation point and can be busy during peak hours, especially with tram and bus services. Good views of the crossing are available from the canal path or from approaches connecting the adjacent towns.
The Pont de Bondy site also holds an Olympic pool built for the 2024 Games, where water polo teams trained; after the Games it passed to the Noisy-le-Sec water polo club, with a 50-metre pool and a 33-metre pool for that sport. The future line 15 station is designed by Italian architect Silvio d'Ascia with the Bjarke Ingels Group.
