Dordogne Viaduct, bridge in France
The Dordogne Viaduct is a reinforced concrete bridge in Pinsac that spans the valley of the Dordogne River. It stretches approximately 1070 meters and carries the A20 highway across the landscape to connect different regions.
The viaduct was constructed between 1999 and 2000 and opened to traffic in 2000 to improve transportation in southern France. Its construction was part of a larger effort to modernize the highway system connecting northern and southern regions.
The viaduct is part of the daily experience for travelers and people living in this region of France. Its name comes from the Dordogne River that flows beneath it, and it represents modern infrastructure that connects communities.
The viaduct is easily accessible from the A20 highway and is used daily by many vehicles. The best way to experience it is while driving or from a nearby vantage point to observe the structure and the landscape below.
The viaduct was built using special construction techniques with prefabricated concrete pieces called voussoirs that were fitted together like building blocks. This method allowed workers to assemble the bridge quickly and precisely while temporary metal frameworks held the pieces in place during construction.
