Description

Le pont de Meung-sur-Loire.

C'est un pont suspendu routier (D18).

La construction du pont initial à péage fut décidée par ordonnance royale du 17 avril 1834 (Louis-Philippe). La concession du pont a été faite aux banquiers lyonnais Brouzet, Boumardot et Cazenave pour une durée de 99 ans. Sa construction a coûté 75 000 francs de l'époque.

Ce pont fut reconstruit trois fois, mais les appuis sont toujours les fondations de l'ouvrage actuel.

Détruit en 1940.

15 juin 1940. "La population de Baule est troublée par l'arrivée d'une dépêche enjoignant aux services postaux de partir immédiatement. (..) Des officiers, accompagnés de femmes semblent fuir avec une hâte vraiment scandaleuse! (…)

16 juin. Dimanche. Les départs continuent pendant la journée du dimanche. (…). Quelques personnes qui n'ont pu trouver de voitures, des vieillards et d'assez nombreux étrangers restent seuls. Le soir à 18 heures, les avions circulent dans le ciel. Ils survolent la ville de Meung; des explosions retentissent; nous voyons des nuages de fumées (…). 18 heures trente. Une formidable explosion ébranle les maisons de Baule; les vitres de la salle paroissiale sont brisées. Un énorme champignon de fumée s'élèvent lentement dans le ciel; le pont de Meung vient de sauter." (Cahiers de l'abbé Pasty).

Le pont sera remis en service en 1948.
