Viaduc d'Eauplet, Railway bridge between Sotteville-lès-Rouen and Bonsecours, France.
The Viaduc d'Eauplet spans 356 meters across the Seine River, featuring a steel construction that stands 6 meters high with a width of 10.5 meters.
The original wooden bridge from 1844 was replaced with metal components in 1856, leading to the construction of the current steel structure by Fives-Lille in 1913.
The structure earned the nickname 'Pont aux Anglais' during its construction period and continues to serve as a vital link in the Paris-Rouen-Le Havre railway line.
The bridge remains operational for regular train service, connecting major urban centers while providing passage over two branches of the Seine River.
Two spans of the viaduct were destroyed in 1940 during World War II and later reconstructed with assistance from American engineering battalions in 1945.
