The Pont Masséna is a road bridge in Paris , 13th arrondissement , which leads the four-lane boulevard périphérique in both directions over the railway tracks coming from the Gare d'Austerlitz and the marshalling yard located there . The bridge has nothing to do with the parallel Boulevard Masséna, which is about 200 m further into town, and the railway overpass there, but this often leads to confusion. It is the longest bridge in Paris.
The Pont Masséna is a cable-stayed bridge with two centrally arranged pylons and a 36 m wide bridge deck. The 492 m long structure has, from west to east, two bridge fields resting on pillars with spans of 41.90 m and 55.60 m. This is followed by a side opening of the cable-stayed bridge with a span of 81 m, the main opening with 161.50 m and the other side opening with 81 m, which is followed by another bridge span with 72 m.
The bridge deck consists of a 36 m wide orthotropic plate with two 5 m wide steel hollow boxes . It has a height of 4.35 m. From each of the two steel, 35 m high pylons, only two ropes are stretched in each direction to the bridge deck.
The bridge was planned by Hellmut Homberg and built between 1966 and 1969. The bridge deck was inserted in sections from two sides, only the main opening was cantilevered.
