Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Ingeniero Carlos Fernández CasadoBridge (also called: Engineer Carlos Fernández Casado Bridge) is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Barrios de Luna Reservoir in the province of León, Spain. It is part of the Autovia A-66, a major highway. It was inaugurated in 1983 and was the longest cable-stayed bridge by main span from 1983 to 1986.
The bridge was designed by Javier Manterola, in honor of the work that the Spanish bridge architect Carlos Fernández Casado (1905–1988) had contributed to society.
Design
The bridge has two piers that divide it into three parts. Each pier is 100 meters tall and has two 27-meter long front cables and two 28-meter long rear cables, for a total height of 220 meters. The two laterals are 66-meters long, and the central part of the bridge is 440-meters long. The total length of the bridge is 643 meters.
The bridge had the largest main span of any bridge in Spain until the inauguration of the La Constitución de 1812 Bridge on September 24, 2015 in the bay of Cádiz.
