Pont Saint-Thomas

About

The Saint-Thomas Bridge (Thomasbruck in Alsatian) is a steel arch bridge that crosses the Ill in the Finkwiller district of Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin). This cast iron work was built in 1841 by the brothers of Dietrich de Reichshoffen, under the direction of Nicolas Cadiat, according to the plans of engineer Antoine-Rémy Polonceau, designer of the Carrousel bridge in Paris in the 1830s. It is one of the oldest cast iron bridges preserved in France.
