About
The Crueize viaduct is a railway viaduct on the Béziers to Neussargues line, located in the commune of Saint-Léger-de-Peyre, in the Lozère département of France. It is nicknamed the "Viaduc de l'Enfer" after the valley it crosses. Built by the French government under the direction of Léon Boyer, it was commissioned in 1887 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi et du Canal latéral à la Garonne (Cie du Midi), the concession holder for the line and viaduct. It should not be confused with the Crueize road bridge.
