Super Bridges | Génie Français - Record-Breaking Bridges | Documentary

Описание: Explore the awe-inspiring world of bridges in this documentary dedicated to the marvels of modern engineering! Discover how record-breaking structures like the Normandy Bridge, the Chaban Delmas Bridge, and the Térénez Bridge push the boundaries of innovation.

The Normandy Bridge is a masterpiece of engineering and was the world’s longest cable-stayed bridge when it was completed. Spanning the Seine with a main span of 856 meters and no support pillars in the river, it overcomes challenges like mud, wind, and tides with innovative solutions. Its aerodynamic design ensures resilience against strong storms. Today, it stands as a symbol of French engineering expertise and serves as a vital link between Le Havre and Honfleur.
The Chaban Delmas Bridge in Bordeaux is Europe’s tallest lift bridge. Its central section, the size of a soccer field, can be raised to 55 meters, allowing even ocean liners to pass. This elegant structure harmonizes with Bordeaux’s historic city center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thanks to a sophisticated counterweight system, the 2,700-ton central span moves with incredible precision and efficiency.
The Térénez Bridge in Brittany holds the world record as the longest curved cable-stayed bridge. With a main span of 285 meters and a distinctive Y-shaped pylon, it was designed to preserve the region’s scenic landscape. A marvel of engineering, it uses innovative materials and techniques to ensure stability and durability. Replacing the old, once hazardous bridge, it now provides a safe and visually stunning connection.

From the largest lift bridge in Europe to the longest curved cable-stayed bridge, this journey dives into groundbreaking techniques and the stories behind these superstructures.
