History
This viaduct is, today, the most significant work of the railway network elaborated by the engineer Louis Harel de la Noë, at the beginning of the 20th century, in the Côtes-d'Armor. It distinguishes itself as much by its dimensions as by the techniques it employs: traditional masonry, metal and reinforced concrete. It is an elegant construction despite the modifications made to the upper part of the piers.
