Bevera railway bridge in Sospel

by Karel Thönissen

It would love to know whether this odd bridge still exists today. The bridge crosses the Bevera-river near Sospel (Alpes-Maritimes, France) on the road to Olivetta (It). Because it crosses the Bevera at a very sharp angle, the supporting arch had been placed perpendicular to the deck of the bridge. All I could find was above photo from a postcard collector that I also remember from a French book on bridges and viaducts, and this description here (just below the tables). Google Maps is not conclusive, because the bridge is hidden in the shadow (Sospel is to the west, where the railroad is on the south bank, it then crosses the river, then passes over a stone-arch bridge before entering a long tunnel that goes under former Italian territory to finally reappear in French Breil-sur-Roya).
