It was built in 1844 using Toulouse bricks and Quercy stone by engineer François Terrié, under the supervision of Jean-Baptiste de Baudre[What?], a civil engineer. Its dimensions are: total length 356 m; width 8.35 m on 14 piers. Less than 200 m upstream, the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi et du Canal latéral à la Garonne built the Cacor railway viaduct in 1857. From 1930 to 1932, trains used the canal bridge as a shoulder until the railway viaduct, destroyed by a flood of the Tarn, was replaced by the current bridge.[2]
