Pont de pierre, Stone bridge in Libourne, France
The Pont de Pierre spans 178 meters across the Dordogne River, featuring multiple arches constructed with local stone and red bricks from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
Built between 1820 and 1824 under architects Claude Deschamps and Bonnetat, the bridge suffered damage in 1944 when German forces destroyed three arches during World War II.
The bridge represents a crucial link in the wine trade route between Bordeaux and Saint-Emilion, serving as a major transportation artery for the Gironde region.
Modern monitoring systems with optical sensors track the bridge's structural conditions, ensuring safety while maintaining its historical appearance through careful material selection.
The structure displays a notable fissure running through the right abutment's intrados, resulting from post-war reconstruction when concrete filled gaps in the spandrels.
