Courbevoie Bridge, Bridge between Courbevoie and Neuilly-sur-Seine, France
The Courbevoie Bridge is a pre-stressed concrete bridge crossing the Seine over about 370 metres, linking Courbevoie with Neuilly-sur-Seine in two sections via Île de la Jatte. Its flat tan deck rests on a tall concrete abutment and a row of slanted piers, with dark openings between them, and a concrete parapet topped by a metal railing runs along the edge.
The present bridge, of pre-stressed concrete, was built in 1971 to replace a metal bridge from 1924. It carries the route of national road 308 across the Seine in two sections, from Courbevoie to Île de la Jatte and from the island to Boulevard Bineau in Neuilly-sur-Seine. A 2006 tube-counter survey recorded an average of 42,208 vehicles per day.
The bridge's other name, Pont Bineau, recalls Boulevard Bineau in Neuilly, which its southeastern span reaches after crossing Île de la Jatte. The 1907 Tour de France started here, and the route then followed the national road 308. The bridge carries two RATP bus lines, 163 and 164.
