Faidherbe Bridge (Pont Faidherbe)

The Faidherbe Bridge (Pont Faidherbe) is a metal road bridge that links the island portion of Saint‑Louis to the Senegalese mainland. Supplied structural data note a length of approximately 507.35 m, a width of 10.5 m, eight spans (with the longest five spans of 78.26 m) and an approximate weight of 1,500 t. The provided sources do not include construction dates, builders, or specific historical incidents tied to the bridge. The supplied archival material includes two field-recording items made at the bridge: hydrophone recordings in the Senegal River capturing sounds of sardines feeding beneath or near the bridge, and contact-microphone recordings attached to the bridge handrailing capturing mechanical/structural sounds. These audio items are presented as environmental and structural sound recordings by artist/recorder Jez Riley French and are not described in the sources as paranormal evidence. The research notes contain no eyewitness testimony, named spirits, apparitional accounts, poltergeist reports, or investigative theories linking the bridge to hauntings. Though the research prompt mentions local ghost stories, the supplied excerpts do not document such lore; further local oral-history research is recommended to determine whether such stories exist.
