FR A 3 km en aval du grand barrage de Serre-Ponçon qui retient 1,2 milliards de m3 d’eau sur 28,2 km² ... on peut voir se barrage bien différent.
Beaucoup plus petit, à 6 portes, il sert de pont pour passer des Hautes Alpes vers les Alpes de Haute Provence par la D900B.
Il permet de réguler et ralentir l'eau qui s'échappe en force de son grand frère.
