Contreras Viaduct

The Contreras Viaduct extends 587.2 meters across the terrain, featuring a concrete arch design with a span of 261 meters and a width of 14 meters.

Completed in 2011, this viaduct became an essential part of the Madrid-Valencia high-speed railway line, connecting multiple Spanish provinces through modern infrastructure.

The viaduct represents Spanish engineering excellence, demonstrating the nation's commitment to expanding transportation networks while preserving the natural landscape beneath.

This railway structure reduces travel time between major Spanish cities, operating as a crucial link in the 914-kilometer Madrid-Castilla La Mancha-Comunidad Valenciana-Región de Murcia line.

The structure holds the distinction of being Spain's longest concrete arch railway bridge, with specialized vertical columns designed to minimize bending moments.
