The Viaduc d'Ormaiztegi or Ormaiztegi Viaduct is a lattice girder viaduct in Ormaiztegi, Spain that was formerly used by a railroad to link a line from Madrid to Irun. It is now considered a historical monument.
History
The viaduct was designed by French engineer Alexandre Lavalley, and construction was completed in 1863.[2]
The viaduct was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War and was reconstructed in 1940.
In 1996, it ceased to be used and was considered obsolete. A modern viaduct was built nearby. To prevent its demolition, it was declared a historical monument, since after more than 130 years, it has been considered a symbol of Ormaiztegi.
Structure
The viaduct has a length of 291.5 metres (956 ft) and a height of 35 metres (115 ft) at its highest point.
