The Normandy bridge completed

The Normandy bridge, the second longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, with a main span of 856 metres, crosses the Seine estuary linking Le Havre to Honfleur. The bridge is 1,966 metres long and includes two concrete pylons that are 215 metres high.
The bridge's bearing surface is more limited that that of the great suspended bridges. Nonetheless, the Normandy bridge represents a considerable improvement in cable-stayed technology and can withstand winds exceeding 300 kilometres per hour.
