footbridge, stone bridge
The stone bridge that replaced the medieval structure previously built upstream, where the roman bridge lay, dates back to the early 14th century. Work was already underway in 1315, and was probably completed no earlier than 1320. A special tax was evied to cover the expense.
The twelve, full-centre arches of the Carcassonne bridge have opening diameters of unequal lengths ranging from 10 to 14 metres. This is evidence that the work was completed arch after arch, depending on the resources. www.carcassonne.org/carcassonne_EN.nsf/vueTitre/docPatr...
