Pont de l'A71 sur la Loire, Highway bridge in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, France.
The Pont de l'A71 sur la Loire extends 400 meters across the Loire River, connecting La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin with Saint-Pryvé-Saint-Mesmin in central France.
The original bridge opened on March 26, 1980, as part of the A71 motorway extension to Olivet, marking a new era in regional transportation.
The bridge stands within the Loire Valley UNESCO World Heritage site, representing the integration of modern infrastructure with historical landscapes.
Each section of the twin bridges contains three traffic lanes and an emergency lane, with a speed limit of 110 kilometers per hour.
A second parallel bridge was added in 2011, doubling the crossing capacity and improving traffic flow between the northern and southern regions.
