Viaduc de Briare, Steel bridge in Briare, France
The Briare Viaduct spans 170 meters across the Briare Canal and Trézée River with a central arch extending 86 meters in length.
The construction of the Briare Viaduct reached completion in 1999 under the direction of architect Alain Spielmann, introducing new engineering methods.
The French Steel Construction Union awarded the Briare Viaduct the Prize for Most Beautiful Structures in 2000 for its engineering excellence.
Located south of exit 20 on the A77 motorway, this steel structure connects both sides of the waterway with four traffic lanes.
The viaduct features a single central arch with radiating cables, making it the largest span of its type in Europe at the time of construction.
