Pont de l'Artuby consists of a large reinforced concrete arch with a span of 110 m (360 ft), on which the carriageway slab is lined with slender, unadorned stanchions.

The arch is framed by comparatively slim piers; short slab-beam bridges on the sides of the slopes, which are supported by equally unadorned supports, provide the connection to the streets.

[2] At the end of the 1930s, the Corniche Sublime (today's D 71) was built to open up the remote area around the Gorges du Verdon for tourism.

However, work had to be stopped because of World War II, so that the route could only be opened in 1946.

The falsework was formed from two trussed segments each weighing 60 tons, which were first mounted on the Imposts in a vertical position and lowered on 17 April 1939 with ropes into the arched position above the gorge.
