Hiking
The bridge has 14 arches, of which 7 arches span the 205 meter wide riverbed itself. The heavy bridge pillars are reinforced at the bottom and have an opening at the top to better withstand the pressure of the water.

Hiking
The bridge was protected as a historic monument in 1911. In 2005, after the declassification of the former N11, the bridge became the property of the Communauté d'agglomération du Grand Montauban. The restoration of the bridge started in 2020.
