Pont de la Libération, Reinforced concrete bridge in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, France.
The 100-meter long bridge spans across the Lot River with a single arch design made entirely of reinforced concrete.
Engineer Eugene Freyssinet designed this structure in 1912, and construction began in 1914 but faced delays due to World War I.
The bridge incorporates brick elements that connect to the medieval construction traditions of Villeneuve-sur-Lot's architectural heritage.
The bridge deck measures 10.90 meters wide, providing two sidewalks and a roadway that previously accommodated a tramway line until 1935.
At the time of its completion in 1919, the bridge's single concrete arch of 96.25 meters set a world record for its engineering achievement.
