Description

Orb Aqueduct er en bro, der fører Canal du Midi over Orb i byen Béziers i Languedoc, Frankrig. Akvædukten er 28 meter bred, 12 meter høj, og med sine 240 meter er den den længste på Canal du Midi. Før åbningen af akvædukten i 1858 krydsede Canal du Midi et kort afsnit af Orb selv. Åbningen af akvædukten gjorde det muligt for bådene at undgå floden, som var uforudsigelig og nogle gange farlig, og ofte medførte forlængede forsinkelser. For eksempel i 1779 forårsagede ekstraordinære oversvømmelser, at flodafsnittet var uigennemtrængeligt i sytten dage. Forskellige planer blev foreslået for at omgå Orb; en akvædukt på over 1 km i længden blev foreslået i 1739, og i 1756 blev en plan om at føre kanalen i en tunnel under Orb fremlagt. Ingen af forslagene blev dog gennemført.
