Pont de Tancarville

Pont de Tancarville
A steel suspension bridge that crosses the Seine River and connects Tancarville and Marais-Vernier, near Le Havre.

Main bridge length: 960m, 50m above river, main span 608m. Pylon height: 123m

Start of build 1955, finished in 1959 at a cost of 9 billion francs. In the 1990s it was realised that the cables had corroded (as has beset the Forth Road Bridge) and the shoulders were crumbling. In 1996-99 both the cables and shoulders were successfully replaced. wiki

The bridge has beautiful lines and curves. It looks very impressive in the sunshine.

Thanks a lot Keith. It was indeed most impressive. This was in fact one of three such bridges all in a 15 mile radius near the French port of Le Havre. No doubt I shall post more here soon. Glad you liked it, Herb

Thanks Steve. I took this from various angles but I did like the play of sun on here. I presume you would have to go to Sydney to get your big bridges then. Thanks for the visit.
