The Pont de Bonpas is a bridge over the Durance river, connecting the south of Vaucluse to the north of Bouches-du-Rhône in southern France. An initial stone bridge was constructed between 1189 and 1199 and destroyed by a 1272 flood. Reconstruction was attempted in 1316 but ultimately failed. A new bridge was not completed until 1812. This was later damaged by flood and a suspension bridge opened in 1894, but was destroyed in 1944. The current bridge was constructed in 1954 and is 500 metres (1,600 ft) long with twelve arches.
