Caracău Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Bacău County, Romania.
Caracău Viaduct is a railway bridge made of concrete in Bacău County that stretches 264 meters across a deep valley. The central concrete arch spans 102 meters and sits 64 meters above the ground, carrying regular train traffic between regions.
Construction of the viaduct took place in 1897, but it suffered deliberate destruction during both World War I and World War II. Major reconstruction efforts followed each conflict to restore its function.
The viaduct represents a significant engineering achievement of late 19th-century Romanian infrastructure, connecting the cities of Miercurea Ciuc and Ghimeș.
The structure is often best viewed from a distance due to active train traffic and restricted access to the tracks themselves. The surrounding landscape offers good vantage points along the valley for observing it.
The structure ranks as Romania's longest railway viaduct and demonstrates concrete techniques from the 1890s that remain in daily operation. Its remarkable longevity despite repeated destruction makes it an exceptional example of engineering and resilience.
