Contreras Viaduct

The Contreras Viaduct is a railway bridge spanning about 587 meters across the territory between Minglanilla and Villargordo del Cabriel in Spain. Its concrete arch structure measures 14 meters wide and carries trains over the terrain below.

The bridge was completed in 2011 as part of the high-speed rail line connecting Madrid and Valencia. It represents a key step in Spain's investment in modern railway infrastructure across the country.

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

The best way to view this structure is from a distance since direct access to the bridge itself is restricted. You can observe it from various points near the surrounding countryside.

The viaduct is supported by specialized columns designed to reduce stress on the structure. This engineering feature allows for greater stability and a longer lifespan of the bridge.
