The Pont du Gard crosses the Gardon River near the village of Vers-Pont-du-Gard near Remoulins, in the Gard département (county) in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It was part of a 5 kilometre (31 miles) aqueduct which supplied water to Nimes
The Pont du Gard is a World Heritage site. It is the tallest Roman aqueduct, and one of the greatest examples of Roman engineering. It certainly has significance.
People aren't sure who built it, we used to think it was Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa in 19 BC, but now new excavations say mid 1st century and we don't know who would build it then. I have to write a paper on the stupid bridge!
The most accurate answer to your question would be "as long as it took". The time spent on constructing an aqueduct depended upon its length, and type and the terrain it had to cover. The Romans were highly efficient builders and organizers and the military did most of the building of the aqueducts, roads, bridges, etc. As most aqueducts were under ground, it was basically a matter of digging and lining and the project could be finished very quickly. The above ground aqueducts took slightly more time as the arches and supports had to be constructed.
