The Pont de l'Iroise crosses the Élorn river at the Brest roadstead in Finistère, Brittany, France, and links Le Relecq-Kerhuon with Plougastel-Daoulas. Architects René Le Friant and René Terzian designed it with Michel Placidi, and engineering came from Alain Chauvin, the Service d'Etudes Techniques des Routes et Autoroute, and SOGELERG. Demathieu et Bard, Groupe Razel and Pico built it. The Finistère DDE owns it under the Ministry of Public Works.
Construction ran from 1991 to 1994, and the article does not state an opening date. This cable-stayed bridge uses reinforced concrete and steel. It is 2,625 feet (800.0 meters) long with seven spans and a main span of 1,312 feet (400 meters).
It carries the RN165 on a deck 76 feet (23.1 meters) wide. The structure stands 371 feet (113 meters) high and leaves 87 feet (26.5 meters) of clearance. Two piers stand in the water.
