The construction of the Pont de Normandie is a new step that prevents the 58 km detour was necessary to cross the bridge within tancanville.
== The Normandy Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge. The decision to build a cable-stayed bridge instead of a suspension bridge was based on the three factors: First, the anchorages of a suspension bridge would have been to heavy and would have not been supported by the soft river bed. Secondly, the structure would only be required to carry a light traffic load. Thirdly, which isn't admitted very often, was the motivation of nationalistic pride in wanting to build the world's longest cable-stayed bridge! ==

Materials used are: prestressed concrete, steel and galvanized steel turnbuckles.
====The steel cables supporting the light are critical structural elements, and corrosion protection is especially important. Each cable (the bridge is 184 in total) consists of a set of cables with 15 mm seven chapters each. The strands are hot dip galvanized before being formed into cables and wires are then dressed in a sheath of high density polyethylene high before leaving the factory. A petroleum-based wax is used to fill the spaces between lines and between the cables and the sheath. The same protection is provided for secondary cables that connect the primary wires together. Galvanized coating performs a particular role of protection, by providing a physical barrier to prevent oxidation of steel, due to the electrochemical properties of zinc.====
