Pont de Suresnes, Road bridge in 16th arrondissement, France
The Pont de Suresnes is a road bridge crossing the Seine River, linking the Bois de Boulogne with the town of Suresnes. It spans 200 meters with a 30-meter width and carries multiple lanes of traffic.
The present structure was built in 1951, replacing earlier bridges including a suspension bridge from 1842 and a metal structure from 1874. Its construction marked a shift toward modern engineering for cross-river connections in this area.
The bridge displays sculptured coats of arms for Paris and Suresnes, symbolizing the link between the city and its suburbs. These artworks reflect how infrastructure became a source of shared identity between communities.
The bridge accommodates pedestrians and vehicles, with walkways on both sides for foot traffic. Access is straightforward and the structure is freely accessible to anyone crossing the river.
The original suspension bridge was deliberately destroyed by local residents during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 to prevent Prussian troops from advancing toward Paris. This action revealed how communities took active roles in defense during wartime emergencies.
