| Abstract: |
The layout of the new south by-pass at Talavera de la Reina, a town in the Spanish province of Toledo, required a bridge over the River Tagus wide enough to handle dual carriageway traffic. In addition to that requirement, design was conditioned by environmental legislation that banned intermediate piers in the main course of the river. The regional roads division of Castilla-La Mancha government wanted to create a bridge would became a landmark structure for the city and the region; as a result a new cable-stayed bridge was designed, with a single span and an inclined towers, and which is claimed to hold several records. |
