Tancarville Bridge
The Tancarville Bridge (Pont de Tancarville in French) is a suspension bridge that crosses the Seine River and connects Tancarville (Seine-Maritime) and Marais-Vernier (Eure), near Le Havre. The bridge was completed in 1959 at a cost of 9 billion francs. In the 1990s it was realized that the cables had corroded and the shoulders were crumbling. Between 1996 and 1999, both the cables and shoulders were replaced. A brand of clothes horse introduced in 1960 was named for its resemblance to the new bridge; in France, especially the northwest, the name has become a genericised trademark for "clothes horse".
