This was without doubt one of the last bridges in Paris to retain its houses and they were only finally demolished in 1808. However, its great age and narrowness led the Administration to look for a replacement in 1855. The new bridge was built in 1857 without interrupting river traffic. It only had three elliptical stone arches 17 m in span, in order to reduce the number of supports in the river.
