Pont ferroviaire de Cubzac, Railway bridge in Cubzac-les-Ponts, France
The Cubzac railway bridge is a metal structure spanning 2,178 meters across the Dordogne River with a series of connected spans. The bridge rests on supports positioned in the river and at both banks to carry the weight of passing trains.
The bridge was built in 1885 and opened in 1886 as part of a major rail construction project in the region. It was destroyed during World War II but subsequently rebuilt to restore rail connections.
The bridge serves as a crucial link in the regional rail network and remains a familiar landmark for travelers passing through the area. Its presence shapes how people experience journeys across the Dordogne valley.
Visitors can best view the bridge from the riverbank or nearby paths and roads surrounding the town. Multiple vantage points around Cubzac-les-Ponts allow for different perspectives of the full structure.
The bridge links the Chartres-Bordeaux rail line and was a significant engineering achievement when it opened for crossing such a wide river. The structure demonstrates late 19th-century steel techniques in a functional form that remains in service today.
