INFORMATION


It was built in the middle of the 19th century. At that time, the old royal roads were replaced by more modern and wider roads, where carriages could pass. 

This stone bridge was built in the narrowest area of the valley due to the difficulties that even in the last century presented a work of passage. In the same way, not only looking for economy but also for the volume of the work, it is the road that is totally subjected to the bridge and not the other way around, as we will see in the more modern ones, due to the fact that the criteria until very recently has been to economize in civil work even if the route of the road resisted (with difficult entrance curves and more or less pronounced access slopes). It has a roadway of 7 meters strict, without verges, and the N 323 passed through it until the construction of the prestressed bridge in 1980.
