10 reviews of Pont de Normandie

impressive suspension bridge

During our visit to Etretat from Percy on the A-29 and shortly before arriving at Le H'avre, we stumbled upon this impressive suspension bridge where there is an imaginary line separating the Upper and Lower Normandy. The bridge length of 2143.21 meters of which 856 are located between the two pillars of it, serves as a bridge over the Seine estuary. They began building it in 1988 and it was finally opened ended officially on the 20th January, 1995. Its length then broke the record of Shanghai surpassing over 250 meters. However it lost its leading position in 1999, when the Tatara Bridge in Japan surpassed it by 34 meters.

With regards to the record length of a cable-stayed bridge, it lost in 2004, when they built the Rio-Antirio in Greece. Its inverted pillars are Y-shaped and they measure 214.77 meters. The straps are made of steel filaments covered by a layer of wax and polyethylene sheath, with a length that varies between 95 and 450 meters.

Art of the 20th century

Art du 20ème siècle

Nous n'avons plus de roi ni de prince pour faire édifier un château sur le sol de France: que restera-t-il des œuvres majeures du 20ème siècle ? Peut-être des édifices routiers comme le Viaduc de Millau ou ce Pont de Normandie qui enjambe audacieusement la Seine et met les galets d'Etretat à portée du sable de Trouville. Esthétique mais difficilement photographiable avec la circulation routière omniprésente. Belle longueur, belles hauteurs : à voir et à emprunter.
We have no king or prince to difier a castle on the soil of France: what will remain of major works of the 20th century? Perhaps Road Buildings like the Millau Viaduct or the Normandy bridge spanning the Seine and boldly puts the rollers of Etretat door Trouville sand. Aesthetic but hardly be photographed with traffic routire omnipresent. Good length, nice height see and borrow.

Le Pont de Normandie offre une vision...

Le Pont de Normandie offre une vision apocalyptique du Havre et de son port qui exhalent des fumées noires depuis ses poumons de béton. De ce pont à haubans, les industries remplissent un panorama dévasté à voir au crépuscule afin de mieux sentir la menace qui s’en dégage. Cet ouvrage d’une portée centrale de 856 mètres est une œuvre d’art du moderne et de l’abomination. Il n’est pas surprenant qu’on ait le souffle coupé par ce paysage d’un choix plus que douteux d’après guerre. Il faut y passer pour mesurer l’ampleur de ce qu’étaient les aspirations du XXe siècle, que l’on se questionne sur l’ère d’un Le Corbusier dont les idées furent malmenées.
The Normandy Bridge offers an apocalyptic vision of Le Havre and its port exhale black smoke from his lungs concrete. This cable-stayed bridge, industries perform a desolate panorama view at dusk to better feel the threat emerges. This work of a central span of 856 meters is the modern art and a work abomination. It is not surprising that we gasp at the landscape a more dubious choice after the war. He must be to measure the extent of what the aspirations of the twentieth century, we wondered about the era of Le Corbusier whose ideas were abused.

Architecture poustouflante

Une époustouflante architecture

Excellent
Du haut de ces 214,77m (au niveau des pylônes), le pont de Normandie enjambe la Seine entre le Calvados et la Seine-maritime. Ce magnifique édifice en béton, fut le plus grand pont à haubans du monde, lors de son inauguration en 1994. Il reste une oeuvre architecturale majeure dans l'art du XXème siècle et c'est pour cela que je vous recommande fortement d'aller voir cet édifice.
From the top of the 214.77 m (at the poles), the Normandy Bridge spans the Seine between Calvados and Seine-Maritime. This beautiful concrete building was the largest cable-stayed bridge in the world when it opened in 1994. It remains a major architectural work in the art of the twentieth century and that is why I highly recommend you go see this building.
