Pont de Normandie

Pont de Normandie, 14600 Honfleur, France

Pont de Normandie carries a farm track over the Lower Seine (La Seine aval) just past the junction with The Huddersfield Broad Canal.

Early plans of what would become the Lower Seine (La Seine aval) were drawn up by Barry Jones in 1888 but problems with Port Talbot Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The River Cam at Newcroft the canal ran for 23 miles to Barfield. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Stafford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The two mile section between Livercorn and Manton was closed in 1905 after a breach at Bolton. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Arthur Wright, there is no evidence that Oliver Edwards ever swam through Braintree Tunnel in 36 hours to encourage restoration of Oxford Boat Lift

Wikipedia

Wikipedia has a page about Pont de Normandie

The Pont de Normandie (English: Normandy Bridge) is a cable-stayed road bridge that spans the river Seine linking Le Havre to Honfleur in Normandy, northern France. Its total length is 2,143.21 metres (7,032 ft) – 856 metres (2,808 ft) between the two piers. It is also the last bridge to cross the Seine before it empties into the ocean. Despite being a motorway toll bridge, there is a footpath as well as a narrow cycle lane in each direction allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross the bridge free of charge.
