Pont de Soissons, Railway bridge in Saint-Denis, France

Pont de Soissons is a railway bridge in Saint-Denis, west of Petite Espagne, carrying four tracks over Avenue du Président-Wilson and Rue du Landy. Its flat lattice truss of crisscrossing diagonal members is painted light grey and rests on plain rectangular piers, with electrification masts and wires along the deck.

The bridge was built in 1860 as part of the Paris-Soissons railway line and originally had a station at its eastern end. Later modifications updated its structure to handle modern rail traffic.

The bridge takes its name from the Paris–Soissons line, opened in stages between 1860 and 1862. A stop called Pont-de-Soissons stood at its eastern end, later enlarged and renamed Gare de La Plaine-Voyageurs. The bridge also gave its name to the Pont de Soissons primary school, later renamed Robespierre.

The bridge is visible from surrounding streets but offers no public pedestrian or bicycle access. You can best view it from train platforms or nearby streets around the area.

During the bombing of 21 April 1944, two bombs fell nearby and one hit the bridge, killing the Caporuscio family of six children, buried in Saint-Denis cemetery. The bridge also gave its name to the Pont de Soissons primary school, later renamed Robespierre.
