The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le pont franchit la rivière sur trois arches en arc brisé qui prennent appui sur deux culées et deux piles en rivière. Sa largeur entre parapets est de deux mètres soixante-six, et sa longueur, y compris les culées, mais non compris les talus, est d'environ trente-trois mètres. La chaussée forme un dos d'âne assez prononcé, mais dont la pente est plus rapide vers la rive droite que vers la rive gauche. Les piles en rivière sont munies d'avant-becs très aigus, recouverts par des glacis en pierre.

History
The bridge crosses the river on three pointed arches which rest on two abutments and two piers in the water. Its width between parapets is two metres sixty-six, and its length, including the abutments, but not including the slopes, is approximately thirty-three metres. The roadway forms a rather pronounced camber, but whose slope is steeper towards the right bank than towards the left bank. The piers in the water are furnished with very sharp cut-waters, covered with stone glacis.
