Pont Albert-Louppe
Plougastel-Daoulas, France
The Albert-Louppe Bridge is a road bridge connecting Plougastel-Daoulas to Relecq-Kerhuorn, spanning the Elorn estuary. Initiated by General Council President Albert Louppe in 1922, construction commenced in 1926 under the direction of engineer Eugène Freyssinet and the Limousin company. At the time, it featured the longest span in the world at 560 meters, supported by three reinforced concrete arches, each measuring 186 meters and rising 42 meters above the riverbed. The 9-meter-wide deck is also made of concrete and includes a gallery for a railway that was never operational.
