Viaduc métro 8 de Charenton, Metro bridge in Charenton-le-Pont and Maisons-Alfort, France
The Charenton Metro Viaduct spans 199 meters across the Marne River, connecting the municipalities of Charenton-le-Pont and Maisons-Alfort with steel beams on concrete piers.
The bridge construction started in spring 1968 and opened on September 19, 1970, marking the first elevated metro viaduct in Paris since 1909.
The structure represents a milestone in Paris transportation development, enabling the extension of Metro Line 8 to serve growing suburban communities.
Standing at 15.05 meters above water level, the viaduct allows boats to pass underneath while carrying metro trains across the Marne River.
The bridge features a continuous gradient and received a blue-green paint job during its 2010-2011 renovation, which included advanced noise reduction systems.
