Pont de Pirmil, Steel tram bridge in Nantes, France.
The Pont de Pirmil stretches 300 meters across the Loire River branch, connecting Nantes Island to the southern district with its steel structure.
Originally built as a wooden footbridge in the 9th century, the current steel bridge was completed in 1947 after German forces destroyed its predecessor in 1944.
The bridge name derives from 'Pila milliaria', referring to an ancient Roman milestone that marked this crossing point between northern and southern territories.
The structure underwent modifications in 1994 to accommodate tram lines, making it an essential part of Nantes public transportation network.
During the early 20th century, residential houses lined the previous bridge structure, creating a populated corridor over the water.
