CONT

Le pont a été remplacé pour la dernière fois en 1898. L'ancienne structure [...] était un pont tournant sur une couronne de galets : il reposait sur une série d'engrenages se déplaçant le long d'une crémaillère circulaire. Le nouveau pont reposant sur un pivot central, c'est le roulement qui supporte la majeure partie de la charge.
