Viaduc de la Scie, Modern road bridge in Manéhouville, France.
The Viaduc de la Scie is a road bridge crossing the Scie Valley and connecting communities in northern France. The structure rests on six oval concrete pillars and curves gently as it spans the landscape.
The project was approved in 2009 and construction began in 2012, though delays occurred before the bridge entered service. It has since become part of the regional road network serving traffic between communities.
The viaduct represents a major infrastructure advancement in Normandy, connecting the communities between Rouen and Dieppe through modern engineering.
The best way to view the bridge is from surrounding pathways or vantage points in the valley below. Keep in mind that it is an active roadway, so access depends on where you wish to approach from.
The pillars are anchored far deeper into the ground than typical for a bridge of this type, penetrating through to stable bedrock below. While invisible from above, this underground engineering shows how carefully the design was adapted to local geology.
