Viaduc du Magnan, Motorway bridge in Nice, France
The Viaduc du Magnan extends 486 meters across the Magnan Valley, featuring concrete H-shaped pillars reaching heights of 90 meters.
The initial southern section of the viaduct opened in 1976, while the northern structure was completed in 1983 to accommodate increasing traffic demands.
The engineering design of the Magnan Viaduct demonstrates French technical expertise through its prestressed concrete beams and advanced structural solutions.
The viaduct carries the A8 motorway traffic on two separate decks, enabling smooth vehicle movement between France and Italy through the northern bypass of Nice.
Each of the parallel bridge structures maintains a ten-meter separation, with tapered concrete walls creating distinct shadow patterns along their vertical surfaces.
