Pont Colbert, Swing bridge in Dieppe, France
The Pont Colbert extends 70.5 meters across the water, featuring a mechanical system that allows the structure to rotate for maritime traffic passage.
Built during the industrial expansion of Dieppe's port facilities, the Pont Colbert began operations in 1889 and received heritage monument status for its engineering value.
The bridge represents a prime example of 19th-century French industrial engineering, combining functional maritime infrastructure with architectural refinement.
This rotating bridge maintains regular opening schedules to accommodate both water vessels and road traffic, connecting the two sides of Dieppe's port area.
The structure incorporates both inscribed and classified historical monument designations, marking its dual recognition in French heritage preservation systems.
