Detail InformationEdit

The Port à l’Anglais Bridge is a cable-stayed suspension bridge that spans the Seine river between the French communes Alfortville and Vitry-sur-Seine. It carries two lanes of automobile traffic and has pedestrian walkways on both sides.It has a main span of 124 m (406.8 ft) and side spans of 52 (170.6 ft) m and 54 m (177.1 ft), totaling 230 m (754.5 ft) in length.It is one of numerous bridges that span the Seine.
Local municipalities clamored for a new bridge in this area as early as the 1890s. After plans for a cantilever bridge fell through, the local government finally commissioned a competition in 1912, accepting submissions for any design type.Completing in 1927, the winning engineers drew inspiration for their design from French Engineer Albert Gisclard. Gisclard developed an innovative suspension system that involved the addition of suspender cables to a bridge’s diagonal stays. This allowed for the removal of the main parabolic suspension cable characteristic of most suspension bridges. This design omission resulted in a structure’s increased stiffness.
