Carnot bridge, Arch road bridge between Collonges and Chevrier, France

The Carnot Bridge spans 40 meters across the Rhône River, connecting the departments of Ain and Haute-Savoie through solid masonry construction.

The construction of this infrastructure project started in 1865 after receiving public utility declaration in 1860, reaching completion in 1874.

The bridge bears the name of Sadi Carnot, a French physicist who made significant contributions to the field of thermodynamics during the 19th century.

Route Départementale 1206 crosses this bridge, providing essential transportation links between the communes of Collonges and Chevrier for local residents.

The bridge maintains its original masonry structure from the 19th century, demonstrating the engineering capabilities and construction methods of that period.
