Pont Boutiron, Historic reinforced concrete bridge between Creuzier-le-Vieux and Vichy, France.
The Pont Boutiron extends 202 meters across the Allier River with three unequal arches measuring 67, 72, and 67 meters in length.
Engineer Eugene Freyssinet constructed this reinforced concrete bridge in 1913, replacing an earlier wooden suspension bridge destroyed by floods in 1856.
The bridge represents a milestone in concrete engineering, featuring Freyssinet's first implementation of his innovative articulation section design.
Vehicle access restrictions limit crossing to vehicles under 3.5 tons, following protective measures implemented in August 2021.
During construction, Freyssinet developed emergency protocols to protect the concrete structure from an unexpected river flood while it was still setting.
