Pont de Puteaux, Road bridge in Puteaux and Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.
Pont de Puteaux is a road bridge spanning the Seine River and connecting Puteaux with Neuilly-sur-Seine across a length of 350 meters. It carries both automobile traffic from Route nationale 13 and Paris Metro Line 1 with multiple lanes serving the flow of passage.
The bridge was built in 1942 and replaced earlier structures that had long enabled movement between both river banks. It grew to become key infrastructure for regional connectivity between Paris and its western suburbs.
The crossing serves as an everyday connection between residential neighborhoods and the business district beyond. Daily life flows across it as residents and workers use it to move between these distinct urban areas.
This crossing is part of daily commuter traffic and metro connectivity, so it is especially busy during peak hours. Visitors should expect traffic noise when crossing but can enjoy views of the river and surrounding cityscape from several spots along the edges.
This structure is notable because it carries not only automobiles but also runs the metro line beneath it, making it a dual-purpose crossing. This dual function makes it a significant junction point in the Île-de-France regional infrastructure.
