Notes:

  • Coordinates are for the present day (2022) Pont Édouard Daladier. The suspension bridge was on an alignment immediately adjacent to it.
  • 1888-1890: Strengthened, and perhaps largely rebuilt, by Ferdinand Arnodin. This introduced the hybrid cable-stayed/suspension system commonly seen in images of the bridge.
  • 1944, June: Heavily damaged by US bombardment. Eventually repaired and reopened.

  • Structurae has the bridge completed in 1922 (with a 1941 reconstruction) and AAJ suggests the bridge was completed 1924-1927, but older images of the bridge show an older bridge consistent with the 1843 date. The later dates represent reconstructions. The current bridge has steel cables.

Notes:

  • Structurae equates this bridge (which was replaced in 2012-2013) to the famous Seguin Brothers test structure at Annonay. Other sources suggest the derelict bridge replaced in 2012-2013 only dated to the 1860s. The detailed description and depiction of the Seguin's Annonay bridge in Tom F. Peters book on early 19th-century suspension bridges definitely does not resemble the 19th-century Moulin bridge. Peters describes the 1822-1823 Seguin bridge as a very narrow, very light, catwalk-style bridge. Peters additionally describes the main cables: "It had a single continuous parallel wire cable made of eight 1.23mm (no. 8 gauge) wires."
  • Replaced by 2013 Moulin - Vernosc-lès-Annonay, Ardèche, France.

Notes:

  • This record represents the bridge as rebuilt with the midspan pier in the 1880s.
  • Ann Saul sent a synopsis of this bridge's history from La Roche-Guyon, Bourg Feodal de l'Ancien Vexin Francais by Ernest Colas. "The author states that the bridge was built in 1838, originally with two pylons, one on each bank of the Seine. In 1882, gale force winds turned over a wide stretch of the bridge floor. Afterwards, another pylon was placed in the middle of the river; however, the bridge was not considered stable enough for modern transportation (the automobile, perhaps). Plans were made for a new bridge and the old one was demolished. The new bridge was never built because of World War I."
  • Replaced 1838 La Roche-Guyon - La Roche-Guyon, Val-d'Oise and Yvelines, France.

Notes:

  • BPF and other sources list this bridge as having been completed in 1821 or 1823, but it is very unlikely the bridge was completed that early. An abandoned pier for another bridge is visible in some images of the bridge. It is possible there was another, earlier, bridge at this location for which the early 1820s completion date may be applicable. Other sources suggest the suspension bridge represented here was completed in 1893.

Notes:

  • Coordinates are for one of the remaining piers of the rail tracks that sat on top of the suspension bridge. This highly unusual hybrid structure had a rail bridge supported by the suspension bridge towers and a suspension bridge mid-span tower. From a distance, it had the appearance of a deck suspended from a rail bridge, but this was not the case.
  • See 1854 Sarp (Sarpsbro, Sarpsbrua) - Sarpsborg, Viken, Norway. Another interesting hybrid rail and suspension bridge.
