Viaduto de Madrid, Redondela

The Madrid Viaduct spans 149 meters across Redondela with iron lattice structures supported by two metal pillars and stone arches at the extremities.

The viaduct, inaugurated in 1884 by engineer Mariano Carderera Ponzán, established a crucial railway connection between Vigo and Tuy in Galicia's transportation network.

The structure represents late 19th-century engineering methods, combining metal framework with traditional stonework in a design that characterizes industrial architecture of that period.

The viaduct underwent extensive renovation works from 2017 to 2019, resulting in structural reinforcement and a new dark green paint coating matching its namesake.

The structure features ten masonry spans and three central metallic sections, reaching a maximum height of 26.5 meters with a total width of 5 meters.
