The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le passage du Bono fut jusqu'en 1669, la propriété de l'abbaye de St-Gildas de Rhuys. Le 19 mars 1669, le chevalier Pierre de Montigny, seigneur de Kerisper, racheta aux moines maison, édifice et terre de passage d'eau. Dans les trente premières années du 19e siècle, il fut envisagé la construction d'un pont en remplacement du bac existant. Laurent, ingénieur des Ponts et Chaussées, en dressa les plans présentés le 25 août 1835 au conseil municipal. L'entreprise Le Pontois assura la construction, achevée le 23 septembre 1840. La structure trop légère subit de graves avaries en 1865, le pont suspendu fut finalement reconstruit en 1869 par l'entreprise Forget. Le système de câble continu passe sous la chaussée dans une galerie d'amarrage.

The passage of Bono was until 1669 the property of the abbey of St-Gildas de Rhuys. On 19 March 1669, the knight Pierre de Montigny, lord of Kerisper, bought back from the monks the house, building and land of the water passage. In the first thirty years of the 19th century, the construction of a bridge was envisaged to replace the existing ferry. Laurent, engineer of the Ponts et Chaussées, drew up plans presented on 25 August 1835 to the municipal council. The company Le Pontois oversaw the construction, completed on 23 September 1840. The overly light structure suffered serious damage in 1865, the suspended bridge was finally rebuilt in 1869 by the company Forget. The continuous cable system passes beneath the roadway in a mooring gallery.
