Viaduc de Saint-Paul, Road bridge in Saint-Paul, Réunion Island, France.
Description
The Viaduc de Saint-Paul is a road bridge that spans 756 meters across the landscape, supported by substantial concrete pillars. The structure carries traffic over the terrain between different parts of the town.
History
Construction began in late 2005 and the bridge opened to traffic in 2009 after several years of work. The new link replaced an outdated connection and improved transportation between the districts.
Culture
The viaduct connects the town center of Saint-Paul with the residential area of Plateau Caillou, replacing an older winding mountain road. It has become a key part of daily life for people traveling between these neighborhoods.
Practical
The bridge is open daily for regular vehicle traffic and can be used by pedestrians and cyclists. Access is available from both sides and the structure is easy to reach from town.
Did you know?
The bridge follows an S-shaped curve that adapts to natural terrain. This design allows the structure to fit smoothly into the landscape.
