Jembatan Tajo (Alconétar)
Completed in 2006, the Puente Rio Tajo is one of two large arch
bridges on the new A-66 Autovia Ruta de la Plata that crosses Spain’s
massive Alcántara reservoir. The other crossing is over the Almonte
River arm 8 miles (13 kms) to the south.
Unlike the stayed cantilever method used to construct Almonte,
the entire length of each half span of Tajo was built vertically above
the foundation and then carefully lowered out over the river and closed
at the crown in one well orchestrated maneuver. After the first of the
two parallel spans was closed, oscillations from a 12 mph (20 km) wind
began to push the arch up and down in a deformation pattern that saw one
side of the arch rising as the opposite side was falling.
Interestingly, when the wind blew above 19 mph (30 kmh), the problem
disappeared. The situation was resolved by welding metal flaps or
deflectors along the edge of the arch ribs.
