Viaduc de la Maine, Cable-stayed bridge in Angers, France
The Viaduc de la Maine is a concrete bridge that crosses the Maine River for roughly 533 meters with a series of supporting spans beneath it. The structure links communities on both riverbanks and handles traffic flow as a key passage through the city.
The bridge was completed in 2004 and improved regional connections significantly when it opened. Since then it has become a key transport link for the area.
The bridge design by architect Christophe Cheron demonstrates French engineering excellence through its integration of structural efficiency and modern architectural principles.
The bridge is open to foot traffic and accessible to anyone exploring the area. You can cross it easily at any time with good visibility along the entire route.
The bridge sits between two other river crossings in the city, which gives it a special role in distributing traffic flow. This middle position allows it to connect different areas and reduce congestion on nearby passages.
