Pont de Choisy-le-Roi, bridge in France
The Pont de Choisy-le-Roi is a concrete bridge crossing the Seine in the town of Choisy-le-Roi and measuring about 130 meters long. It has three spans with two lanes for vehicles and wide paths for pedestrians, plus a bicycle lane added on one side.
The bridge was planned in the late 1950s and built between 1962 and 1965, designed by Jean Muller and constructed by the Campenon-Bernard company. It was one of the first bridges in France built using modern prefabricated concrete methods, which made construction faster and more efficient.
The bridge is a familiar part of daily life for people in Choisy-le-Roi, helping them cross the river on routine trips. Its straightforward design blends into the surroundings and is used by drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists going about their ordinary activities.
The bridge is open to traffic around the clock and provides clearly marked paths for pedestrians and cyclists on both sides. Regular maintenance keeps the structure in good condition, and the wide, flat surface makes crossing easy for all users.
This was one of the first bridges in France built with prefabricated concrete segments assembled with special adhesive. A floating crane was used to install these parts, balanced assembly extending from the center outward.
