Pont de Thoissey

Pont de Thoissey is a road bridge that crosses the Saône River and connects the towns of Thoissey and Dracé with a concrete structure for vehicle traffic. It carries cars and trucks daily between the two riverbanks.

The bridge was completed in 1925 and marked an important improvement in regional infrastructure during the interwar period. It enabled modern traffic and connected two previously isolated communities.

The bridge functions as a meeting point for local inhabitants, reinforcing connections between communities on both sides of the Saône River through regular interactions.

The bridge is open year-round for traffic and provides a direct crossing of the Saône between the two towns. Pedestrians and cyclists can also use it to travel between the communities.

Materials used in the construction of this bridge were sourced from local quarries, incorporating regional resources into its fundamental structure.
