Viaduc de La Méaugon

The Viaduc de La Méaugon spans 228 meters across the Gouët River, featuring 12 upper arches and 8 lower arches in its granite construction.

Built between 1860 and 1862 by the Western Railway Company, this structure connected the stations of Saint-Brieuc and La Méaugon in the Côtes-d'Armor department.

The viaduct structure represents a notable example of 19th-century French railway engineering, with its double-deck arch design and stone craftsmanship.

The secondary deck of the viaduct serves as a pedestrian crossing, enabling people to traverse from one bank of the Gouët River to the other.

The creation of the Saint-Barthélémy dam in 1978 submerged the valley, resulting in the viaduct's base being partially underwater depending on water levels.
