Notes:

  • Next to 1834 Lamothe - Lamothe and Brioude, Haute-Loire, France. In 1866, a flood caused a major change in the course of the Allier River such that the main channel no longer flowed under the older bridge. The newer bridge crossed the main channel of the Allier just slightly east of the older bridge.
