Briare aqueduct
The
Briare Aqueduct
carries the
Canal latéral à la Loire
over the
River Loire
on its journey to the River
Seine
in France. It replaced a river-level crossing from the canal to meet the
Briare Canal
that was hazardous in times of flood. Between 1896 and 2003 it was the longest
navigable aqueduct
in the World until the opening of the
Magdeburg Water Bridge
.
