Pont de Gennevilliers

Pont de Gennevilliers is a steel crossing spanning 160 meters over the Seine, linking Asnières-sur-Seine and Clichy with a straightforward metal structure. The bridge handles car and bus traffic alongside pedestrians and cyclists in a single integrated passage.

This structure was built in the early 1920s following World War I to strengthen links between Paris suburbs. It represented one of many infrastructure improvements made to support the expanding communities on the Seine's banks.

This crossing joins two distinct communities and serves as a daily passage where locals cross the Seine for work and leisure. The bridge remains a modest landmark that people from both banks use to move between neighborhoods.

This crossing is open daily for cars, buses, pedestrians, and cyclists moving between the two banks. Walking or cycling across offers the best views of the river and the surrounding areas along the Seine.

The structure retains visible riveted steel connections and metal framework from the 1920s, never fully modernized with contemporary welding methods. These details reveal how engineers of the early post-war period solved the challenge of crossing the river with available technology.
