Viaduc du vallon de Maupré

The Viaduc du vallon de Maupré is a steel bridge that crosses a valley near Charolles, enabling vehicle traffic to pass over the landscape below. The structure uses a triangular box girder system reinforced with concrete-filled steel tubes to span the distance.

This bridge was built in 1987 to improve traffic connection along National Road 79 in the Burgundy region. The structure was an important step in developing the regional road network.

The construction of this viaduct represents a milestone in French engineering, demonstrating advanced techniques in bridge construction during the late 20th century.

The bridge is passable across the valley and serves as a connection point in the road network with viewing areas. Visitors can observe the structure from different angles and enjoy views of the surrounding landscape.

The structure incorporates two corrugated metal cores of 8 millimeters thickness within its design, combined with a prestressed concrete slab system.
