Pont de Chalonnes-sur-Loire, Road bridge in Chalonnes-sur-Loire, France.

The reinforced concrete bridge extends 109.65 meters across the Loire River, connecting the town of Chalonnes-sur-Loire to Chalonnes Island.

The original suspension bridge from 1841 was destroyed in 1940 during World War II, leading to temporary solutions until the current structure opened in 1948.

The bridge forms part of the Loire Valley UNESCO World Heritage site, where numerous celebrations and regional festivals take place throughout the year.

The structure carries the D961 departmental road with two traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways, providing essential connectivity for local residents and visitors.

Local fishermen gather on the bridge's edges throughout the year, making it a social meeting point while catching fish from the Loire River.
