Viaduc de la Grande Chaloupe, Concrete viaduct in Saint-Denis and La Possession, Réunion Island, France.
The Grande Chaloupe viaduct extends 5,400 meters across the Indian Ocean, connecting Saint-Denis to La Possession with 48 marine support pillars.
Construction of the viaduct began in 2014 as part of the New Coastal Road project to replace routes affected by rock falls and ocean storms.
The structure represents a major advancement in French maritime engineering, demonstrating the technical capabilities of Reunion Island's infrastructure development.
Ninety-five percent of the construction materials were prefabricated on land and transported by the Zourite barge for installation at sea.
The Grande Chaloupe stands as the longest sea viaduct in French territory, designed to withstand cyclonic waves and coastal natural hazards.
