A new bowstring arch bridge which will carry the Nimes-Montpellier rail line over the River Lez in France was launched into place last month.

Work is being carried out by concession company Oc'Via on behalf of SNCF; construction partners include Bouygues Construction and Colas, with design input from Systra and Setec. Specialist subcontractor for the launching operation was Saarens.
