Pont de Groslée, Suspension bridge in Groslée-Saint-Benoît, France
The 177-meter-long suspension bridge crosses the Rhône River, connecting Groslée-Saint-Benoît in Ain department with Brangues in Isère department.
Ferdinand Arnodin designed this suspension bridge, completed in 1912, which German forces partially destroyed in 1940 during World War II before its reconstruction.
The bridge represents a significant achievement of French civil engineering from the early 20th century, demonstrating the period's technical capabilities in bridge construction.
Since March 2023, vehicles over 3.5 tons cannot access the bridge due to structural concerns, with alternate routes available through Pont d'Évieu.
The bridge structure combines aluminum alloys and lightweight concrete in its deck, following the 1977 renovation that enhanced its load-bearing capacity.
