Description
:
"The bridge over the Tajo river at Alcántara reservoir is formed by two twin 400 m long structures, each of which is an arch bridge 220 m span and 42.50 m rise. Each of the arches is formed by two box sections braced to each other.

The deck lays on a set of columns uniformly spaced over the whole length of the bridge (every 26 m).

The columns are concrete in the approach spans and steel over the arches, rigidly connected to them.

Each deck is a continuous composite steel-concrete structure (twin box girders) simply supported on the columns."
