Alors que la création d'une ligne de chemin de fer entre Limoges et Angoulême est décidée en 1845, ce n'est que le 26 avril 1875 que la ligne a été exploitée jusqu'à la gare Monjovis. La liaison entre la gare Monjovis et la gare des Bénédictins n'a ouvert qu'un an plus tard avec la traversée de quartier urbain de Limoges.
La rue du Chinchauvaud se trouve alors coupé en deux et une passerelle piétonne est installée pour pouvoir traverser la nouvelle voie ferrée.

While the creation of a railway line between Limoges and Angoulême was decided in 1845, it was not until April 26, 1875 that the line was operated until the Monjovis trainstation. The connection between the Monjovis trainstation and the Benedictines station did not open until one year later with the crossing of the urban district of Limoges.
The Chinchauvaud street is then cut in half and a single-arch pedestrian bridge is installed to cross the new railway.
