Magnificent bridge with a 360 view

Faced with the rapid increase in road traffic, the idea of a second bridge connecting the two banks of the Seine was born in 1972. The Normandy Bridge, which was opened on 26 January 1995, is a true engineering feat: 2141.25 m long, 23.60 m wide, pylons 214 m high, 7 years of work... and 10 million hours of work.

It's walkable by Pedestrians. :)

impressive and so hugh

The Pont de Normandie (English: Normandy Bridge) is a cable-stayed bridge that has the longest span in Europe at 856 m. It crosses the Seine estuary and connects Le Havre (then Upper Normandy) on the right bank to the north with Honfleur (then Lower Normandy) on the left bank to the south. The bridge was built between 1988 and 1994 and was inaugurated on January 20, 1995. The 23.60 m wide bridge has a total length of 2141.25 m. It consists of the southern approach bridges with twelve spans and spans of 96.00 m + 9×43.50 m + 32.5 m + 3×70 m + 27.75 m (= 547.75 m), the northern approach bridges with 16 spans and spans of 96.00 m + 14×43.50 m + 32.50 m (= 737.50 m) and the 856 m large one main opening. The 3 m high superstructure of the main opening consists of a 624 m long central steel section, which is followed on both sides by 116 m long prestressed concrete sections. The pylons of the cable-stayed bridge are 203 m high and each carry 2×23 cables. The passage height for ships is 52 m at the highest known water level.

Very accessible trail - boots recommended for the end of the route - immersed in the reedbed with very beautiful views.

Admittedly, not the most beautiful route and not particularly pleasant when the cars drive by so close at 90 km/h, but it is still impressive to walk across the bridge in gusty winds. A few figures: For a long time, the bridge was the one with the longest roadway (2252 m) suspended from suspension cables. The span between the 215 m high pylons is 856 m. The roadway is suspended from 184 steel cables, the longest is 460 m long. The passage height for the ships is 50 m at the highest water level. The bridge can withstand winds of up to 300 km/h, today the average was 40 km/h.
