New Bridge over Llobregat River

Located on the road which communicates the port and the airport of Barcelona, the New Bridge over the Llobregat River is a bow-string. This road is one of the main accesses of this city and also an axis of the principal roads connecting industrial and logistic areas associated to its port and all the industrial zones of the Bajo Llobregat. Arch and deck are supported by two reversed tripods, made by a longitudinal inclinated simple pier and a both longitudinal and transversal inclinated double pier that constituted inferior part of the rhombus which is completed by the double superior arch. Bridge presents a-rectangular plant and its deck is materialised by a prestressed concrete beam 304 m long and 29 m wide. Both piers and arch divide the deck in five spans; the main and the central one of 104 m long, the adjacent ones of 55 m, and the lateral ones of 42 and 48 m.
