Saint-Jean-de-Losne is originally a town located in an area surrounded by water. The bridge is therefore an essential element to allow access to the city. Originally, this bridge was made of wood and was located opposite the old Seurre road, downstream of the current bridge. It remained in place until the beginning of the 19th century, but these wooden constructions were not strong enough to withstand the floods of the Saône and the ice.
In 1838, a stone bridge was built on the site of the current bridge. It was destroyed during the wars of 1870, 1914-1918 and during an explosion in 1940.
The current bridge dates from the 1950s and is made of reinforced concrete.

Small town on the banks of the Saône which has a certain charm. A few restaurants along the river. The location makes it easy to reach the towpath which connects Dijon.
