Viaduc de Saint-Paul, Road bridge in Saint-Paul, Réunion Island, France.

The Viaduc de Saint-Paul extends 756 meters across the landscape with a width of 26.7 meters, supported by 35-meter-tall concrete pillars.

The construction of this infrastructure project began in November 2005 and concluded with its inauguration by Regional Council President Paul Vergès on May 20, 2009.

The viaduct connects the traditional Chaussée Royale near the town center with the residential district of Plateau Caillou, replacing an older winding mountain road.

The bridge incorporates six traffic lanes with a 6 percent gradient, facilitating rapid transit between different sections of Saint-Paul for residents and visitors.

The structure features an S-shaped design that follows natural terrain contours, with 69 deep foundation barrettes extending 30 meters into the ground.
