Verrières Viaduct, Highway bridge in Aveyron, France
The Verrières Viaduct is a highway bridge in southern France that spans across a deep valley with a graceful curved form. It crosses the mountainous landscape of Aveyron using tall concrete piers spaced to create its distinctive arched profile.
The viaduct was built between 1998 and 2002 as part of expanding the A75 motorway corridor. This project helped complete a major transportation route connecting France's northern and southern regions.
The viaduct represents French engineering expertise through its integration into the mountainous landscape of southern France's Aveyron department.
The structure carries traffic on the A75 motorway and serves as a key link in this major north-south route. It is best viewed from designated viewpoints nearby rather than from the bridge itself during driving.
The structure rises about 140 meters above the valley floor, making it one of the highest of its type in France. This dramatic height becomes most apparent when viewed from the valley below, where its slender supports seem to stretch far into the sky.
