Pont de Meung-sur-Loire, Steel bridge in Meung-sur-Loire, France.
The Pont de Meung-sur-Loire is a steel structure that crosses the Loire River and measures approximately 271 meters in length. It features a concrete deck supported by a metal framework with curved cables running through its structure.
A river crossing at this location held strategic importance when Joan of Arc captured the original bridge from English forces in 1429. The present bridge was built in 1948 as a replacement for the medieval structure.
The bridge links two communities that have relied on this crossing for daily movement and commerce. It serves as a practical connection for locals and travelers passing through this Loire valley town.
The bridge carries the D18 regional road and connects the two municipalities on either side. It is located in the Loire valley, approximately 18 kilometers downstream from Orleans.
The bridge features parabolic cables that create a distinctive visual pattern across its span. This cable design was a modern engineering choice made during post-war reconstruction efforts.
