Viaduc Léon-Blum, Modern viaduct in Poitiers, France.
The Léon-Blum Viaduct spans 330 meters across the Boivre Valley and the Poitiers railway station on the Paris-Bordeaux line.
The structure replaced a concrete footbridge from 1952 and opened to the public on February 6, 2014, after construction began in January 2012.
The viaduct bears the name of former French Prime Minister Léon Blum, following a proposal by Alain Claeys at the Grand Poitiers community council.
The 15-meter wide structure accommodates bus rapid transit lines 1, 11, 16, N1, and E, along with pedestrians and cyclists, while remaining closed to other vehicles.
The construction project required an investment of 28 million euros, funded by multiple entities including the Grand Poitiers urban community and the European Union.
