Viaduc du vallon de Maupré, Steel bridge in Charolles, France
The Viaduc du vallon de Maupré spans 325 meters across the valley, featuring a triangular box girder design with concrete-filled steel tubes.
Built in 1987, this viaduct became essential for the development of National Road 79 and the transportation network in the Burgundy region.
The construction of this viaduct represents a milestone in French engineering, demonstrating advanced techniques in bridge construction during the late 20th century.
The bridge functions as a crucial connection point in the road network, allowing vehicles to cross the valley while providing observation points.
The structure incorporates two corrugated metal cores of 8 millimeters thickness within its design, combined with a prestressed concrete slab system.

Saône-et-Loire reveals a heritage that is not just scenery. The heights of Morvan still bear the traces of Bibracte, an ancient oppidum where Gallic history was written. Autun recalls Roman power with one of the country's largest ancient theaters. Further south, fortified villages, Romanesque abbeys, and castles add a medieval and Renaissance layer to this mosaic. Le Creusot tells of the entry into the industrial age. Between ancient stones, wooded landscapes, and religious sites, the region gathers locations that highlight the depth of its history.
