Sidi Rached Viaduct

The Sidi Rached Viaduct stretches 447 meters across the Rhummel gorges, featuring 27 arches and reaching a height of 107 meters above ground level.

Engineer Aubin Eyraud and architect Paul Séjourné completed this massive infrastructure project in 1912, connecting the Coudiat district to Constantine Train station.

The viaduct stands among four major bridges in Constantine that demonstrate the engineering capabilities of North African infrastructure development in the early 1900s.

The structure provides a vital transportation link across the deep gorge, allowing vehicles and pedestrians to move between different sections of Constantine without toll charges.

The bridge incorporates a central arch span of 68 meters and includes stone facing techniques similar to those used in the Adolphe Bridge of Luxembourg.
