Pont de Bornègre, Stone deck arch bridge near Saint-Maximin, France
The Pont de Bornègre features three segmental arches spanning 17 meters across an intermittent torrent, constructed with stone voussoirs throughout its width.
Built during Roman times, this bridge served as an integral component of the 50-kilometer Nîmes aqueduct system, positioned 9 kilometers upstream from Pont du Gard.
The bridge incorporates numbered stone blocks that demonstrate the precision of Roman construction methods and engineering expertise in ancient infrastructure.
Two of the three arches remain buried under sediments up to their vault springs, while the central arch remains accessible for examination.
The bridge's pillars feature triangular upstream cutwater structures and rectangular downstream reinforcements designed to withstand powerful flood torrents.
