Bridge of Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert

The Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert Bridge spans 270 meters across the Loire River with a height of 40 meters, featuring reinforced concrete construction and steel components.

Built in 1930, the bridge transformed regional transportation by replacing the previous system of ferries that local residents relied upon for crossing the Loire River.

The bridge received its current name 'Pont Pascal Clément' in 2021, honoring the former president of the Loire Departmental Council who initiated its construction.

The structure accommodates daily traffic of 15,000 to 22,000 vehicles on its two-lane roadway, reducing travel times in the region by 20 to 30 minutes.

The bridge employs an innovative self-anchoring system where anchoring structures connect directly to the deck, reducing the size requirements for anchoring masses.
