Agay is a small tourist town in the municipality of Saint-Raphaël in Estérel Côte d'Azur. L'Agay is also the name of a small river that flows into the Mediterranian Sea in the west of the city. The railway line Marseille - Nice going through the city of Agay crosses that river here with a railway bridge.
The bridge is built as lattice truss bridge, the mesh of support beams having been constructed under the platform of the bridge. It crosses on a length of about 55 meters the river L'Agay as well as a small road. On top of the bridge are two railway tracks which are frequently used by trains.
The bridge can be viewed best from the adjacent road bridge of Boulevard de la Plage. The top of the bridge can be seen from the nearby
train station of Agay.
