Abstract:

In Spain, timber is a material rarely used in construction. Despite wood has been used in construction for thousands of years, today is considered a short life matirial, which is suitable only for provisional purposes. Therefore, when a few years ago, due to the width extension of the A8 motorway, an old conventional metallic footbridge had to be replaced, the “timber option” proposed by our company Media Madera, was not really what is said to be “a winning bet”.
