Cala Galdana Bridge

The bridge consists of two parallel arches with a free span of 45 metres (148 feet) and an intermediate deck.

The arches rise to a total of 6 metres (20 feet) with a span-rise ratio of 7:5, and attach to the deck with two connected longitudinal beams.

Their depth is .7 metres (2 feet 4 inches), constant through their length; the width of each section varies between .7 and 1 meter.

Two struts (connecting the base of each of the arches and the end of the longitudinal beam) avoid horizontal reaction on the abutments.

[2][3][4] Construction was begun by Ferrovial in October 2004 (with demolition of the existing bridge), and completed in early June 2005.
