Viaduc du Blanc, Railway viaduct in Le Blanc, France.
The viaduct spans 528 meters across the Creuse River with 21 stone arches rising 38 meters above the water level.
Engineers Bleynie, Charles Dupuy, and Bonnemere designed this railway structure in 1885, requiring 43,000 cubic meters of stone for its construction.
The viaduct stands as a testament to 19th-century French engineering, connecting the communities of Saint-Benoit and Le Blanc through rail transport.
The structure now serves as part of a green pathway, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Creuse River while viewing the valley.
The viaduct required an investment of 2,210,000 francs in 1886, demonstrating the scale of railway infrastructure projects in 19th-century France.
