This 460 metre long, 116 metre high viaduct was opened in October 1903 on the line from Castelnaudary to Rodez, then on the CdF Midi. The main arch extends over a length of 220 metres and crosses the deep valley of the Viaur between Rodez and Albi. It consists of two articulated cantilever beams, each extended by a short constant section beam and a two-arch masonry abutment. It is the only bridge of this type in France and was classified as a
monument historique on 28 December 1984.
