Pont de Soissons, Railway bridge in Saint-Denis, France
Pont de Soissons is a railway bridge in Saint-Denis that carries four tracks over Avenue du President-Wilson and Rue du Landy. Regional trains and RER line B use it daily to connect the city with the surrounding suburbs.
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 forms a key part of daily life in Saint-Denis, linking northern suburbs to central Paris through its rail services. It shapes how the city connects to the rest of the region through train travel.
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.
The bridge sustained bombing damage during World War II in 1944, leaving visible structural repairs. You can still see where reinforcements were added to strengthen the original framework.
