Viaduc ferroviaire de Nogent-sur-Marne

The viaduct stretches 830 meters across the Marne River, featuring multiple arches and a longest span of 80 meters for rail transportation.

Construction of the viaduct began in May 1855 under engineer Marie-Emile Vuigner, with its inauguration taking place on July 7, 1856.

The structure represents a combination of 19th-century engineering and modern adaptations, earning recognition in the French cultural heritage inventory.

The viaduct serves as part of the Paris-Mulhouse railway line and supports regular train service, including the RER E regional express network.

German forces partially destroyed the original stone arches in 1944, leading to their replacement with reinforced concrete structures in 1945.
