Viaduc ferroviaire de Cosne-sur-Loire, Railway bridge in Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire, France
The Viaduc ferroviaire de Cosne-sur-Loire extends 828 meters across the Loire River, connecting the municipalities of Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire and Bannay.
The first steam train crossed this metal structure on December 18, 1893, marking the beginning of regular railway service between Bourges and Toul.
The structure, known locally as Viaduc de Port-Aubry, represents the engineering capabilities of the Paris-Orleans Railway Company during the industrial expansion of France.
The bridge contains fourteen spans of 58 meters each, supported by thirteen masonry pillars and secured with approximately one million rivets.
Since 2000, this former grain transport route has transformed into a cycling path where visitors can ride rail bikes across the Loire River.
