    The crossing of the bridge can be done by bike but a lot of traffic

      One of the two famous bridges in the region (along with the Normandy Bridge), the Tancarville Bridge is an impressive suspension bridge which allows you to cross the Seine. This impressive structure is worth the detour and to be seen.

        In 1959, the structure had the longest central span in Europe: 608 meters, which to this day remains the national record, and two lateral spans of 176 meters each. The total weight of the frame is 7,500 tons.
        Its pylons are 123 meters high and support an average load of 6000 tonnes. Due to the marshy nature of the land, the foundation of the left bank pylon has a depth of 28 meters, so as to rest on compact soil. That of the right bank pylon has a depth of 18 meters. The clear height for navigation, or air draft, is 50 meters5.
        The cables are connected to two anchor blocks, the heaviest of which weighs 36,000 tonnes and has dimensions similar to those of the Arc de Triomphe
