Teror Viaduct (Gran Canaria Island)

Main span: 145 m.

Teror Viaduct is a bridge located over a difficult-to-reach gorge and was designed keeping in mind the aesthetic requirements so as to achieve the structure’s full integration with the existing landscape.

The deck is rigidly fixed to piers and is supported by extra-dosed bracing. The V-shaped piers laterally ‘embrace’ the deck, that is the piers integrate with the deck, forming a monolithic whole as the pylons extend above.

The deck was built using the balanced cantilever system starting from the two piers.
