Pont de la Tortière

Pont de la Tortière, Concrete bridge in northeastern Nantes, France.

Pont de la Tortière is a concrete bridge crossing the Erdre River in Nantes. It connects Boulevard Eugène Orieux on the right bank to Boulevard des Belges on the left bank, carrying both vehicle traffic and pedestrians.

An earlier stone and brick structure stood at this location from 1878 until it was replaced by a concrete bridge in 1977. The replacement was part of the city's modernization of its transportation infrastructure.

The bridge carries the name of the Tortière quarter and links Boulevard Eugène-Orieux with Boulevard des Belges, two of the inner boulevards that ring central Nantes. Its deck is bordered by a metal railing with vertical bars, and a yellow diamond sign hangs above the central pier. A rectangular sign bearing the number 8 is fixed to a pier on the right.

The bridge links Boulevard Eugène-Orieux on the right bank with Boulevard des Belges on the left bank, both part of Nantes' inner boulevards. It stands northeast of the city centre, where the Erdre is crossed. Look for the yellow diamond sign on the railing above the central pier and the rectangular sign marked "8" on a pier to the right.

The 1876 brick-and-stone bridge was opened to traffic in 1878, and its replacement was inaugurated in 1977. The earlier structure is documented in Édouard Pied's 1906 Notices sur les rues de Nantes, a source for the bridge's dates.
