steel cross girders and the R.C. deck in transversal
direction. The bridge has a straight horizontal
alignment, and a 0,5% grade.Although the abutments
are at right angle to the center of the bridge, the
central pier is at a 45° skew. The superstructure
was incrementally launched with a steel nose. The
construction of auxiliary intermediate supports was
not possible.
