The fabulous Pont de Normandie

The fabulous Pont de Normandie
Who could not be impressed by such a structure.

The Pont de Normandie was opened in 1995 and was then the world’s largest cable-stayed bridge. It spans the river Seine linking Le Havre to Honfleur in Normandy, northern France. Its total length is 2,143metres – 856 metres between the two piers. It has a clearance of 52 m and total height of 215 m.

A pleasure to see like this and a costly pleasure to drive over.

As everyone comments, it's certainly an impressive structure.
I wonder , does it require a lower gear to get to the top as the view suggests?

Thanks Peter and apologies for late reply. Yes, I am sure that I did have to change down a gear for this mighty bridge as it climbs somewhat from the river banks. Actually, just a mile or so further along the same stretch of road is yet another impressive bridge: The Grand Canal Bridge at Le Havre -
structurae.net/structures/grand-canal-bridge-at-le-havre and that one I definitely had to change down a gear or even two. Unfortunately I never got to photograph that one at close range. Glad you enjoyed this. Herb
