Address Pont De Re Pont de l'île de Ré, 17940 Rivedoux-Plage, France

The Ré island bridge is the second longest bridge in France, linking Ile de Ré to Rivedoux-Plage, in Charente-Maritime departement.

Opened to traffic on May 19, 1988, the Ré island bridge is 2,926.5 meters long. The second longest bridge in France after the Saint-Nazaire bridge, the Ré island bridge is made up of 6 separate viaducts linked together by roadway joints. It has the particularity to be curved with a radius of 5000 meters and has a bell shape allowing the passage of warships.
The toll at the entrance of the bridge was originally installed to reimburse the costs of the bridge. Since 2012, following the end of the reimbursement, the people of Rete have asked that the toll not be removed to avoid an even greater influx of vehicles. Today, the toll helps finance the maintenance of the bridge, the development of public transportation on the island and a contribution to the protection of the island’s natural areas.
