The Viaduct du Luech at Chamborigaud in the Cevennes region of the south of France. It is 46 metres high, 360 long, has 29 arches and is still in use.
The Viaduct of Chamborigaud, more correctly known as the Viaduct du Luech, crosses the Luech river via a span of 29 arches. The viaduct is 360 metres long, 46 metres high and is a curved structure. It was opened in 1867 and took the railway from the north through to Alès in the south. A branch, with a smaller viaduct was opened shortly after to La Varnarède. This line was used to transport coal from the mines above La Varnarnède. It is now disused. The viaduct at Chamborigaud is still in use today and carries regular local services and a daily service to Marseilles in the south and Clermont Ferrand in the north.
