Technical Data

  • Length: 2,017 m
  • Main span: 265 m
  • Width: 22 m

Description

The two most singular features of this large cable-stayed bridge are:

Firstly, the bridge deck was completely prefabricated through a fast, systematic and reliable construction process of high quality.

Secondly, the composite towers formed of concrete and weathering steel were highly innovative,both in technical, aesthetic and constructional terms and allowed achieving constructional excellence. They have an exceptional structural response at the stay anchorage areas and a strong appearance due to the chromatic contrast between the grey concrete and the dark sienna of the steel; colors which recall the hues of many buildings of Seville: houses, churches and palaces.
