About:
The Pont du Carrousel is a bridge located in Paris and crossing the Seine between the Quai des Tuileries and the Quai Voltaire.
Generally called the "Carrousel Bridge", it was also called the "Saints-Pères Bridge" because its axis almost extended that of the rue des Saints-Pères. It was also sometimes called the "Louvre Bridge", since it came out opposite the Louvre palace, on the right bank.
A royal ordinance of October 11, 1831, authorized the construction of the bridge.
Its designer, Antoine-Rémy Polonceau, demonstrated a great sense of innovation since he created an arched bridge when the trend was for suspension bridges. The complex cast iron and wood structure are also very daring.
Thus, the iron circles that decorate the metal structure are ironically called "napkin rings". At each corner of the bridge rise sculptures by Louis Petitot (still in place on the current structure) representing Abundance, Industry, the Seine, and the City of Paris. They date from 1845.
In 1883, the bridge was closed to traffic for six months to replace part of the beams and sleepers. The technicians who make this change advise changing the wooden parts of the deck to hammered iron. This will be done in 1906, and the wood of the deck is replaced by iron. Despite this repair, the bridge is narrow and moves dangerously.
In 1930, it was also judged to be of insufficient height for river navigation, and it was decided to destroy it completely and replace it with a new structure. It was deconstructed in 1937.
The new bridge takes the general shape of the initial bridge with its three arches but is now made of reinforced concrete.
