Archbridge

Cast iron with timber

The total length of the bridge is 168 meters, the width is 33m, containing a 21 m roadway. 
The structure consists of three arches of reinforced concrete vaults, with lengths of 36 m, 42 m and 36 m spans.  Piers and arcs are covered with a quarried stone facing with the intent purpose of blending in with the Louvre.  On the bank on both sides of the bridge, four decorated pylons support a telescopic lighting system that is able to raise the lamps from a height of 13 m (day) to 20 m (night) – this mechanism currently is unserviceable. This system was designed by the ironworker Raymond Subes and installed in 1946.
