- The bridge over the river Cuco is 250 m long and is mainly characterised by a maximum height of approximately 53 m. Spans are 70.0+110.0+70.0, built using the cantilever method. The cross-sectional profile consists of 1.2 m walkways, 1.5 m shoulders and two 6.5 m lanes, making up a total width of 18.4 m. The project also has hydraulic devices in order to reduce the stress in the columns in the event of seismic activity.

- Coordination and detailed design. Dynamic seismic analysis. Hydrological and drainage studies. Geotechnical report and technical assistance during the construction phase.
