Pont de Saint-Pierre-du-Vauvray, Reinforced concrete bridge in Saint-Pierre-du-Vauvray, France.
Pont de Saint-Pierre-du-Vauvray is a reinforced concrete arch bridge crossing the Seine River. The structure measures approximately 159 meters in length and features a single large arch that rises prominently above the water to allow river traffic to pass underneath.
The bridge opened in 1923 and was the longest single-arch reinforced concrete span in the world at that time. It was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in 1946 using the same structural design.
The bridge takes its name from the nearby village and represents an important connection across the Seine for the local communities. It stands as a visible symbol of how engineering linked regions together in the early modern era.
The bridge is accessible via the D313 departmental road and carries vehicle traffic across the Seine. Pedestrians can walk across the span and enjoy views of the river valley and surrounding countryside from the top.
Engineer Eugène Freyssinet designed this bridge using innovative techniques that later became standard for concrete structures worldwide. His construction methods at this site influenced how similar spans were built in later decades.
