The Viaduc d'Austerlitz has no pedestrian or car traffic; only métro line 5 uses
the viaduct. It was built in 1904 - 1905, of steel, with stone pediments.
Line 5 crossing the viaduct into the 13th arrondissement and the Gare d'Austerlitz.
This perspective of the span is from Port de la Rapée, the bank of 12th arrondissement.
The steel footings meet the stone pediment in the 12th arrondissement. This detail shows the crest of the
City of Paris (the boat) and other nautical motifs.
