Cize-Bolozon viaduct, France Jul 5, 2025

Imagine a bridge that connects more than just two sides of a river. Nestled in the Ain department, the Cize-Bolozon Viaduct—featured in today"s image—has accomplished this feat for over 70 years. Built in 1950 to replace a structure destroyed during World War II, it has watched over the valley with understated elegance ever since.
