The Pont du
Garigliano replaces the viaduct of Auteuil called also Pont of the Point
of the Day.
After
the annexation of the communes of Vaugirard and Auteuil, the construction
of a bridge becomes essential to replace the vat which connects 2 banks.
The viaduc d'Auteuil or Pont du point du Jour is carried out between 1863
and 1865. Hundred years later, that is to say in 1963, it is rebuilt for
better answering the urban development of Paris. It is a metal work, of
a sober and modern drawing, which is composed of 3 spans pressed on high
piles in masonry.
