VIADUC DE L’ENFER
SAINT-LEGER-DE-PEYRE , Lozère – Cultural heritage
About
The structure was designed by Bauby and Boyer on the Béziers-Neussargues railroad line.
The Marvejols-Neussargues section, on which the Crueize viaduct is located, is a textbook case for the choice of route in a difficult environment, with steep-sided valleys. Léon Boyer proposed a route over the top of the plateau, which had the advantage of avoiding the need to build a new viaduct Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
The structure was designed by Bauby and Boyer on the Béziers-Neussargues railroad line.
The Marvejols-Neussargues section, on which the Crueize viaduct is located, is a textbook case for the choice of route in a difficult environment, with steep-sided valleys. Léon Boyer proposed a route over the top of the plateau, which had the advantage of avoiding the need for a multitude of secondary structures, and limiting the number to a few major or even exceptional structures, such as the Garabit viaduct, built by Eiffel and designed by Boyer on the same line.
The viaduc de la Crueize (the river it crosses), nicknamed the “viaduc de l’Enfer” after the valley it crosses, was built in 1880. The arched bridge has a total length of 219m, rises 63m above the water level and has a maximum span of 25m. Commissioned in 1887 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi et du Canal latéral à la Garonne, the line’s concessionaire. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
