History
In 1912, construction begins on a second railway network in the Côtes d'Armor, which will allow engineer Harel de la Noë to perfect, on a large scale, his techniques and methods of reinforced concrete construction. The implementation of the largest viaducts of this network employs standardization and prefabrication on site, producing a corpus of works very recognizable by the structure of their arches and reinforced concrete decks.
