It is the third longest canal bridge in France, after Briare in the Loiret and Agen in the Lot-et-Garonne. Built between 1842 and 1846, this bridge is 356 metres long and consists of 15 arches that harmoniously combine white Quercy stone and Toulouse brick. This structure allows boats travelling on the Canal to pass over the River Tarn. During the floods of 1930, the canal bridge served as a temporary railway line from 1930 to 1932, while the railway bridge, damaged by the flood, was being repaired.
