Pont Amont

About

The Amont Bridge is a bridge located in Paris, the first of the city to cross the Seine when you follow the river.

History: It was designed by architects Depaquit, Rousselin, Dambre and Herzog and built between 1967 and 1969.

It is located in the southeast of the city, whose administrative boundary (with Ivry-sur-Seine and Charenton-le-Pont) is a few meters upstream. It connects the 12th arrondissement and Bercy wharf (east) to the 13th arrondissement and the Ivry wharf (west). It has four spans. It is an exclusively motorized bridge, used by the peripheral boulevard, whose joint of expansion from the bridge to the Bercy gate constitutes the kilometric point 0 (the increment then takes place in the direction of the hands of a watch). With a total length of 270 m (the second longest bridge in Paris after its downstream counterpart), the upstream bridge was inaugurated in 1969. It also bears no official name, since the designation "upstream" was given to it by use.
