Pont de la Jonelière, Railway bridge in Nantes, France.
The Pont de la Jonelière spans 95 meters across the Erdre River with a central concrete arch and two masonry access viaducts of three 8-meter arches each.
The original metal bridge from 1875 was destroyed by German forces in 1944, leading to its reconstruction under Albert Caquot's design, completed in 1948.
Albert Caquot contributed significantly to French engineering, designing over 300 bridges and receiving the Grand-croix of the Légion d'Honneur in 1951 for his achievements.
The bridge accommodates rail traffic on the Nantes-Châteaubriant line and includes dedicated pathways for pedestrians and cyclists following its 2011 renovation.
Engineers constructed the bridge using a wooden framework built on each bank and lowered into position with winches before concrete reinforcement and casting.
