Pont de Saint-Pierre-du-Vauvray

The Saint-Pierre-du-Vauvray Bridge spans across the Seine River with a single arch extending 131 meters and reaching a height of 25 meters.

Engineer Eugene Freyssinet designed this structure, which opened in 1923 as the longest single-arch reinforced concrete bridge in the world at that time.

The bridge received recognition as a Historical Monument in 1975, reflecting the engineering achievements of early 20th-century French infrastructure development.

Located on departmental road D313, the bridge connects the towns of Les Andelys and Louviers, allowing vehicle traffic with a speed limit of 90 kilometers per hour.

French military forces destroyed the bridge in 1940 during World War II, leading to its identical reconstruction in 1946 using the original design specifications.
