The construction of the metallic canal bridge, today the longest in Europe (662.69 metres), was started in 1890 (stonework was by Eiffel). Completed in 1894 and filled in 1896, it made it possible for barges and pleasure boats to cross the Loire river.
Briare canal was made between 1604 and 1641 employing over 6 000 men for its construction.
