Capestang bridge, Navigation bridge on Canal du Midi in Capestang, France
The stone bridge spans across the Canal du Midi with a narrow passage that requires careful navigation for vessels passing underneath.
The bridge maintains its original dimensions despite reconstruction efforts, serving as a measuring point for boats traversing the Canal du Midi since its construction.
The bridge stands as a central element of Canal du Midi's navigation system, referenced in multiple French waterway navigation guides and literature.
Vessels must measure less than 3.3 meters in height at the center and 2.4 meters at the edges to pass safely under the structure.
This bridge functions as the primary measuring standard for boat dimensions along the entire Canal du Midi, determining vessel specifications for manufacturers.
