Bridge of Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert, Concrete bridge in Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert, France
The Bridge of Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert is a reinforced concrete structure spanning 270 meters across the Loire River with a clearance of 40 meters. The crossing features two traffic lanes and carries a substantial portion of daily vehicles moving through the region.
The bridge opened in 1930 and eliminated the need for ferries that residents had previously used to cross the river. This crossing became a pivotal connection point for the local region.
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 crossing is designed for motor vehicles and functions as a main route for regular commuter traffic. Visiting during off-peak hours provides a smoother passage if you are concerned about congestion.
The bridge employs an innovative self-anchoring system where anchoring structures connect directly to the deck, reducing the size requirements for anchoring masses.
