L'autre pont - Lauzet-Ubaye, Paca, France - Arch Bridges on Waymarking.com

FR

A Lauzet-Ubaye, tout le monde connaît le pont romain (qui n'a de romain que le nom car il date, au plus, du XIIe siècle) qui fait parti du patrimoine local et est inscrit aux monuments historiques français depuis 1938.
Mais on n'oublie qu'il est étroit et qu'à 25 m de là a été construit un autre pont au XXe siècle pour gagner le hameau de Costeplane.
Ce dernier, en biais, plus long et surtout plus large, permet de passer l'Ubaye dans de meilleures conditions que le pont romain, à double angle droit avec la route.
