Pont-canal de la Tranchasse, Navigable aqueduct in Colombiers, France
The Tranchasse Aqueduct extends 96 meters across the Cher River with eight arches and reaches a height of seven meters.
The construction of this engineering structure occurred between 1829 and 1834 under the direction of engineer Charles Vauvilliers for the Canal de Berry.
The aqueduct and its lockkeeper's house represent the transportation heritage of central France, connecting major industrial centers during the 19th century.
A dirt path near the former lockkeeper's residence leads to a beach along the Cher River for viewing the structure.
The structure required modifications in 1872 to double its water channel width, allowing simultaneous barge passage in both directions.
