Here you can see some of the detail of the stonework on the arches of the Pont de Tolbiac, along with the top stone railing, and this bridge was constructed so there would not be as much of a gap between the Pont National and the Pont de Bercy.

This photograph we took of the Pont de Tolbiac was taken while standing on the Port de la Gare, on its western side, and this was one of the last traditionally constructed bridges with stone masonry rather than reinforced concrete like the newer bridges in Paris.

This HD photo shows the Pont de Tolbiac low arch design
Here you can see some barges moored up along the banks of the River Seine next to the Pont de Tolbiac showing just how low the bridges arches are to the water line, which was part of its design in 1877 by the engineers Perouse and Bernard creating a traditional and conventional bridge.
