Huétor-Tájar Bridge (Granada)

The 260 m long viaduct over the Genil River serves as a new access road to the town of Huétor-Tájar (Granada) and the surrounding villages from the A-92. The structure was built with prefabricated box girders cemented onto footings with driven piles. The top part supports a two-way carriageway with a total width of 8 m plus two 2.5 m pavements on each side.

The new road, with a total length of 900 metres, starts at a roundabout on the Venta Nueva road and ends at the roundabout on the Nueva Redonda road in the urban area of Huétor Tájar.

The affected telephone, water supply and electricity services were also restored.

Important magnitudes:

  • The openings (7) are formed by two 1.90 m box girders.
  • The piers are formed by two cylindrical shafts with stand-alone capitals for each girder and the foundations are made using driven piles.
  • The road surface consists of two layers of hot bituminous mixtures over two layers of gravel and three layers of selected soil
  • 40 cm prefabricated piling foundations: 2,720 m.
