Notes:
- This is a replacement for the three-span southern Saint-Symphorien bridge. It's unclear if this wood-towered bridge is a result of the 1943 reconstruction following the 1940 French army destruction of the bridge or the reconstruction following the 1944 German army destruction of the bridge.
- Replaced 1847 Saint-Symphorien - Tours, Indre-et-Loire, France.
- Connects to 1847 Saint-Symphorien - Tours, Indre-et-Loire, France. It's unclear whether the northern two-span Saint-Symphorien bridge was similarly reconstructed in the 1940s.
- Replaced by 1963 Saint-Symphorien - Tours, Indre-et-Loire, France.
