About
The Île de Ré bridge is located in the French departement of Charente-Maritime, on the western coast of France, and
connects the mainland (La Rochelle) to the Île de Ré via a 2,926.5-meter-long curve, culminating at 42 meters above sea level. Built by Bouygues and financed by the Charente-Maritime, the bridge was opened to traffic on May 19, 1988.
It is the second longest bridge in France, behind the Saint-Nazaire Bridge (1975) and ahead of the Ile d'Oléron Bridge.
