FR Ouvert à la circulation en 1952, à l’époque c'était un pont "nouveau" d'un aspect architectural agréable. Ce pont est un ouvrage de type suspendu, porté par des haubans, avec des poutres en béton armé. Ses câbles sont interchangeables et sa travée centrale mesure 81 m. Le pont mesure 159 m entre les culées. La largeur de son tablier est de 4,50 m

On doit ce pont à Albert Caquot, polytechnicien, Ingénieur des ponts et chaussées à qui on doit plus de trois cents ouvrages de génie civil de toutes sortes dont plusieurs sont alors des records du monde.
EN Open to traffic in 1952, at the time it was a "new" bridge of a pleasing architectural appearance. This bridge is a suspended type structure supported by guys with reinforced concrete beams. Its cables are interchangeable and its central span measures 81 m. The bridge measures 159 m between the abutments. The width of its deck is 4.50 m

We owe this bridge to Albert Caquot, a polytechnic engineer, engineer of the bridges and roads, to whom we owe more than three hundred works of civil engineering of all kinds, many of which are then records of the world.
