Pont de Suresnes

The Pont de Suresnes spans 200 meters across the Seine River, connecting the Bois de Boulogne with the suburb of Suresnes through a 30-meter wide structure.

The current bridge, built in 1951, replaced three previous structures: a suspension bridge from 1842, a temporary boat bridge from 1870, and a metal bridge from 1874.

The bridge stands as a symbol of industrial development in the Paris region, marked by sculptures displaying the coats of arms of Paris and Suresnes.

The structure serves over 47,000 vehicles daily, providing a direct connection between Boulevard Henri-Sellier and central Paris through multiple traffic lanes.

During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, local citizens deliberately destroyed the original suspension bridge to prevent Prussian troops from advancing toward Paris.
