Notes and references

Notes

^ The Pont de Normandie held the record of the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world from 1995 to 1999, when the Tatara Bridge opened in Japan.^{[S 47]}
^ The Saint-Nazaire Bridge, with its access viaducts, is the longest bridge of metropolitan France. The 404 metres (1,325 ft) main span was in 1975 the longest cable-stayed span in the world, until the opening of the Engineer Carlos Fernández Casado Bridge in 1983 in Spain.^[20]^{[S 50]}
^ The tripoint border between France, Germany and Switzerland is situated about 100 metres (330 ft) south of the Three Countries Bridge, so the bridge is on the France–Germany border but doesn't cross exactly the France–Switzerland border.
