Viaduc, Railway bridge in Chamborigaud, France.
The masonry viaduct spans 384 meters across the Luech Valley with 29 arches, incorporating both 14-meter and 8-meter openings in its northern and southern sections.
Built between 1865 and 1867 by architect Charles Dombre for the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean Railway Company, the viaduct facilitated transportation across previously inaccessible Cévennes terrain.
The Department of Historical Monuments recognized the viaduct's engineering excellence through an official designation on December 28, 1984.
The structure remains an active railway crossing on the Saint-Germain-des-Fossés to Nîmes-Courbessac line, connecting the stations of Chamborigaud and Génolhac.
The viaduct features different arch sizes and curve radiuses between its sections: 240 meters in the north and 200 meters in the south.
