Cran bridge, Swing bridge in Rieux, France.
The Cran Bridge extends 148 meters across the Vilaine River with a fixed concrete section of 125 meters and a 23-meter metal rotating span.
The bridge location marks an ancient river crossing point where a ferry service operated from the Middle Ages until its discontinuation in 1962.
The construction of this infrastructure in 1964 transformed local transportation patterns and created a permanent connection between the communities of Rieux and Saint-Dolay.
Vessels requiring more than 5.80 meters of clearance need to request the activation of the rotating section to pass underneath the structure.
This bridge stands as the sole crossing point over the Vilaine River between the towns of La Roche-Bernard and Redon.
