Viaduc de Rocherolles, Railway bridge in Bersac-sur-Rivalier, France
The Viaduc de Rocherolles stretches 180 meters across the Gartempe valley, featuring twelve arches arranged in two levels of solid stone construction.
Built between 1852 and 1854, the viaduct required 2,000 workers and cost one and a half million gold francs to complete this major railway infrastructure.
The structure represents a significant achievement in French engineering, constructed with blue granite extracted from nearby quarries using local craftsmanship methods.
Located at kilometer point 358.984 on the Aubrais-Orléans to Montauban-Ville-Bourbon line, the viaduct carries trains connecting Paris to Toulouse via Limoges.
At its inauguration in 1856, the 54.60-meter-high structure ranked as the tallest bridge in France, marking a milestone in railway infrastructure development.
