The old bridge in Montignac has been clad with scaffolding for quite a few weeks now, slowly but surely old crumbled stone is being replaced and the new can be seen clearly on the first nearly completed support above.
Looking into the history of the bridge, a wooden structure was swept away in 1620 by flood water and was replaced by the stone bridge that was constructed between 1766 and 1777, between the woodern structures end and start of the stone building, a kind of boat/ferry was used for crossing the river.
Hopefully it won't be too long until all the work is complete.
