Comments:
The Napoleon Bridge over the Loire River connects the city of Tours with Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire
The bridge was built between 1957 and 1960 and replaced several bridges that were on the site (including one called the Pont Bonaparte). The current bridge replaced a temporary bridge that was placed on the site at the end of World War II, after the last permanent bridge was blown up by the German army.

The bridge is 395 meters long and about 16.5 meters wide.
