Le premier pont de Suresnes fut un pont suspendu, forme de 3 travées, construit de 1841 à 1842 par l'ingénieur Eugène Flachat avec l'aide de Jules Petiet. La suspension était assurée par des rubans de fer laminé, réunis par des boîtes de fer. Le pont fut détruit en septembre 1870.
Le second pont fut construit en 1874 par l'ingénieur Legrand et l'entreprise Martin. Il comprenait 3 arches. Les piles étaient en calcaire, le tablier en fer et fonte. Il fut agrandi en 1901 par l'entreprise Crozel et décoré selon un projet de l'architecte J.C. Formigé. Le sculpteur E. Fremiet conçut le décor des candélabres. Il fut démoli vers 1950.
Le 3e pont fut conçu par les architectes G. Tréant et J. Mathé, assistés des ingénieurs des Ponts du département de la Seine. La 1ère phase des travaux, de 1938 à 1942, fut réalisée par l'entreprise Dayde et la 2e phase, de 1947 à 1950, par l'entreprise Billiard. Le pont comprend 2 piles et des culées de béton armé, et un tablier de poutres métalliques entretoisées et enrobées de béton.
