The Pont de Normandie crosses the Seine and links Le Havre with Honfleur in Normandy, France. Michel Virlogeux designed it, with architects François Doyelle and Charles Lavigne. The Chambre de commerce et d'industrie du Havre owns it. Construction began in 1988, though the infobox says 1993, and the bridge opened on January 20, 1995.
This cable-stayed road bridge is about 7,024 feet (2,141 meters) long, and its main span is 2,808 feet (856 meters). Steel and concrete form the structure. Upside-down Y-shaped concrete pylons carry the cables.
The bridge has four traffic lanes plus pedestrian and cycle lanes. The article does not name an architectural style, and it gives two different years for the start of construction.
