Pont Normandie bridge

Pont de Normandie toll Bridge

The bridge is over a mile long plus a steep run to reach it and the same on the other side. With traffic travelling at 60mph I was amazed to see 4 people walking over the bridge. There was also someone on a bike he did not make it to the top and was pushing his bike. I hope he had good brakes for the downhill part you would need them to stop.

The photo was taken as we were travelling at 70mph so not to bad.We crossed the Pont de Normandie on our trip to Le brevdent in Normandy.We were travelling from Calais the bridge saves you about 35 miles.The toll cost 5 euros and the extra diesel to travel round the bridge about the same.So the main saving is your time. The charge is each way so we stayed on the Honfluer side mostly. We did make one extra trip over to Etretat a small seaside village. Our total tolls for the bridge were 20 euros. Plus the 180 miles from Calais cost another 16 euros each way the tolls do start to add up
