"The current Louis Philippe bridge, which is 100 meters long and 16 meters wide, is similar to the Bercy bridge and was built by engineers Romany and Savarin between 1860 and 1862.

It is supported by 3 arches in a loop of 30 meters of reach which rest on piles founded in concrete. The Louis Philippe bridge connects the right bank with the Quai de l'Hôtel de Ville on Île Saint Louis.

The eardrums are adorned with a crown of stone foliage that surrounds a metal rosette.

The first bridge built by the Seguin brothers, in the form of a suspension bridge, dates from Louis Philippe in 1833. on the occasion of the festivities marking his accession to the throne at the end of the Revolution of 1830.

Burned during the revolution of 1848, it is restored and renamed "bridge of the reform", then it is rebuilt a little more upstream in its current form and inaugurated on August 15, 1862. "

" Le pont actuel Louis Philippe, d'une longueur de 100 mètres pour une largeur de 16 mètres ressemble au pont de Bercy. Il a été réalisé par les ingénieurs Romany et Savarin entre 1860 et 1862.

Il est soutenu par 3 arches en anse de 30 mètres de portée qui reposent sur des piles fondées en béton. Le pont Louis Philippe relie la rive droite le quai de l’Hôtel de Ville à l'île Saint Louis.

Les tympans sont ornés d'une couronne de feuillage en pierre qui entoure une rosace métallique.

Le premier pont construit par les frères Seguin, sous la forme d'un pont suspendu, date de Louis Philippe en 1833. à l'occasion des festivités marquant son accession au trône à l'issue de la Révolution de 1830.

Incendié durant la révolution de 1848, il est restauré et rebaptisé " pont de la réforme ", puis il est rebâti un peu plus en amont sous sa forme actuelle et inauguré le 15 août 1862. "
