Description

:

"The Constitution of 1812 Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge, linking Cádiz with Puerto Real over the Mediterranean sea.

The main span, 540 m, is the record in Spain and the third-largest in Europe among cable-stayed.

The two pylons are 185 m high. The vertical clearance is 69 m, which is the second height of the navigation channel in the world, after the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, in New York. Moreover, the bridge includes a 150 m removable span over the bay that means no limit to maritime navigation if necessary.

The total length of the bridge is 3.092 m (1.440 m over the sea).

The deck, 34 m width, is distributed between the motorway with two lanes in each direction and another carriageway of two lanes reserved for metropolitan public transport."
