Pont de Pélussin, Railway bridge in Pélussin, France
The granite Pont de Pélussin spans 170.8 meters across the landscape and rises 45 meters above the ground in southeastern France.
Built in 1919 following World War I, this railway bridge strengthened transportation networks during a period of infrastructure development in rural France.
The bridge represents an essential component of French railway heritage, connecting communities and supporting regional development in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
While the bridge remains active for train traffic, visitors can observe its architectural features from designated viewing points in the surrounding area.
The structure demonstrates early 20th-century engineering techniques through its granite composition and design specifications for supporting heavy rail transport.
