The first stone was place on March 22, 1988 by then Prime Minister Jacques Chirac. It took 6 yrs to build the bridge. The official opening was on January 22 1995,and the first car went thru on January 26 1995.
With its 856 meters in the central pylon, the bridge is the biggest gilded bridge in the world. For the cyclists and pedestrians it is free,for cars it cost 5 euros, well worth it!
