Spécificités techniques

The total length of the structure is 69 metres, divided into 3 spans covering a distance of 17 metres - 35 metres and 17 metres.

The main beams are mixed concrete/steel and are supported by metal struts inclined 45°.

The structure as a whole was dimensioned not only for the “wildlife passage” configuration, but also to carry a two-lane road (one in each direction) that may be built in the future.
