Pont de pierre, Stone bridge in Agen, France.
The bridge spans across the Garonne River with eleven arches made of stone, connecting the town of Agen with Le Passage d'Agen.
Construction of the bridge began in 1812 under the supervision of Boucheron contractors, facing multiple interruptions due to floods and financial constraints until completion in 1827.
According to geographer Strabo, the Garonne River marked the boundary between Celtic Gaul and Aquitaine, separating populations with different languages, customs, and laws.
The structure underwent major reconstruction in 1970, replacing the original stone with prestressed concrete to accommodate four traffic lanes crossing the river.
The bridge required continuous reconstruction throughout medieval times due to frequent flooding, demonstrating the engineering challenges of maintaining river crossings in this region.
