Pont Charles De Gaulle Piliers de soutainement

Le pont Charles-de-Gaulle est un pont franchissant la Seine à Paris, en France.

Il relie le 12e arrondissement, 13e arrondissement,( quai d'Austerlitz).

Le pont Charles-de-Gaulle tire son origine du développement récent du Sud-Est de Paris, dans les quartiers de Bercy et de la nouvelle bibliothèque François-Mitterrand.

Le projet lauréat, de Louis Gerald Arretche et Roman Karansinski, composé d'un tablier d'acier blanc ressemblant à une aile d'avion reposant sur des piles discrètes par l'intermédiaire de fins tubes d'acier, cherche à se fondre le plus possible dans le paysage. Commencé en 1993, il fut terminé en 1996.

 

The Pont Charles-de-Gaulle (Charles-de-Gaulle Bridge) is a steel-reinforced concrete girder bridge straddling the river Seine in the eastern part of Paris. It is a one-way bridge carrying road traffic from the 13th arrondissement to the 12th arrondissement

In 1986, the Council of Paris (Conseil de Paris) decided to construct a new bridge between the Pont de Bercy and the Pont d'Austerlitz in southeast Paris, to imitate the design of the Pont d'Austerlitz

A Europe-wide competition was held in 1987 to determine the best project design. At the conclusion of the competition, the concept set forth by Louis Arretche and Roman Karasinski was chosen for the bridge

The bridge has a single steel deck measuring 270 m long and 35 m wide, and the shape of which resembles an aircraft wing. It is supported by two concrete piers. Linking each pier to the deck are two conical steel frames shaped like upside-down tents.

The bridge roadway (not including footpaths and cycle lanes) is 18 m wide and carries four lanes of northeast-bound traffic from the Left Bank to the Right Bank. Two cycle lanes to the upstream side of the bridge and two footpaths, one on each side of it, permit unmotorized traffic to cross.
