Ponte de Gundián (I) (Vedra, A Coruña province / A Estrada, Pontevedra province) - Galicia Community.
The construction of the Ponte de Gundián (Gundian) was linked to development of the railway Zamora-La Coruña, Galicia great connection with the “Meseta”, and although the first viaduct project approved in 1928, the viaduct was not a reality until 30 years later.
During the Civil War, and the project is abandoned, its term, endorses to build an endowment of 1,037,035 pesetas to build what would be one of the most beautiful bridges of Galicia.
In 1945 began the construction of the tunnel, first leveled off and then began the iron frame to complete the arc. The welders were built pieces of two or three meters, which later served to make the formwork, hanging from scaffolding, it was a very difficult and dangerous work, because with the few security measures were suspended more than 80 meters from ground.
In May 1955 placed the metal formwork central arch, and a year later, the two sides were joined viaduct, which would be inaugurated on September 58.

The Ponte de Gundián is only one track? Can it accommodates 2? It seems large enough.

Ponte de Gundián (II) – Viaducto del Ulla (Vedra, A Coruña province / A Estrada, Pontevedra province) - Galicia Community.
The Viaducto del Ulla (Ulla river Viaduct), which crosses the river of the same name at an altitude of 110 meters for a place called "Paso de Cova" of natural beauty, conforms with the viaduct Gundián (1958), which crosses the valley 130 meters upstream on two steep outcrops of quartz, a visual picture of striking contrasts.

The Ulla river Viaduct has a total length of 630 meters and is supported on grounded 9 cells directly to the field, with a maximum height of 116.9 m, and another 5 pilasters resting on an arc of 168 meters of light that saves Ulla river.

Puente Requejo (Pino del Oro/Villadepera), Zamora province – Castile & Leon Community.
The Requejo bridge (popularly known as the Pino Bridge) is a Spanish engineering work built to save the Duero River as it passes through the towns of Pino del Oro and Villadepera, in the province of Zamora, in the autonomous community Castile & Leon, Spain.

The construction of this bridge led to the opening of smooth communication between the regions of Aliste and Sayago Zamora province. Previously, the only communication between the two territories consisted of a boat sailing between Pino and Villadepera.

Pine Bridge was opened September 15, 1914. In his time, the resulting bridge was the most light, 120 m, and the highest height, 90 m above river in Spain.

Puente de Piedra (Valderrobres/Vall de Roures), Teruel province – Aragon Community.
The Puente de Piedra (Stone bridge) is a Gothic bridge over the river Matarraña. Valderrobres could hardly have a more spectacular entrance which gives the impressive medieval bridge and the portal of San Roque. Essential part of their architecture and perfectly recognizable image where the people mentioned. We could date the start of work to build it around 1390, with the request that the Archbishop García Fernández de Heredia ago before John I to build these fortifications. Much more difficult would be safe to say the date of its completion, probably in the early fifteenth century.

Puente de Piedra (Zamora) – Castile & Leon Community.
known of the existence of Romanesque Puente de Piedra (Stone bridge) since 1167, being cited in the literature of the time as "pontem Novum". Its construction was probably completed in the thirteenth century. The design of the bridge construction meets the criteria of the time, with pointed arches, of which are preserved at present fifteen. It has architectural elements to counter the thrust of water during floods, such as embankments, spurs, arches and windows.

Viaducto del río Deza (Vila de Cruces/Lalín), Pontevedra province – Galicia Community.
The viaducto del río Deza (River Deza viaduct), spanning the river valley that bears its name, is one of the unique elements that are part of the construction of the subsection Lalín (Anzo)-Silleda (Carboeiro), included in the high-speed route linking Ourense and Santiago, in the North-West of Spain. This viaduct stands by the construction method used in its construction. The most striking phase, more technically complex, and visually stunning, is the process for the abatement of the pointed arch, located between the openings 11 and 12.
This construction system is big news in Spain, similar to that used in the construction of the O Eixo viaduct, also in line Ourense-Santiago, or the Arroyo del Valle viaduct, in the high-speed Madrid-Segovia-Valladolid .

Puente de los Tirantes (Pontevedra) – Galicia Community.
The Ponte de los Tirantes (Tirantes bridge) work of Leonardo Fernandez Troyano and Javier Manterola, two engineers associated with the study Fernández Casado and are part of a generation that has become prominent bridges in art works throughout the Peninsula, is considered one of the 33 most unique bridges in Spain, marked a new aesthetic in Pontevedra town, so the game tower, counterweights, water and strained, with the city in the background, is perhaps the best picture of the Pontevedra twentieth century.

Puente Ingeniero Carlos Fernández Casado (Los Barrios de Luna), León province – Castile & Leon Community.
The Engineer Carlos Fernández Casado bridge is a suspension bridge designed by Javier Manterola crossing the Barrios de Luna reservoir in León, forming part of the AP-66 or Highway Silver Route. It was opened in 1983, setting a world record for length of a suspension bridge with concrete deck for a few years, and also the record for length of a prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge.

It has two towers that divide the bridge in three spans, two sides of 66 meters and a center of 440. The total length of the bridge is 643 meters and its width is 22 meters. In the center of the central span, there is a joint.

The towers have just over 100 meters (90 on board), its columns are spaced 20 meters and open at the bottom. It also has two mounting-counterweight of 34 meters each. Was constructed by the cantilever system.

Today is the bridge with the largest span of Spain.

Pasarela Arganzuela II (S4) by Dominique Perrault (Madrid) – Madrid Community.
With its 250 meters long, is the longest structure of those projected in the Special Plan Manzanares River. Binds Yeserías Road with Manzanares Avenue, creating a path above Arganzuela Park and the channel of the river, using a platform that provides shelter and shade.

The design of this gateway corresponds to Dominique Perrault Architecture. The French architect is doing such important works like La Caja Magica, in the south of Manzanares river. In November 2005, Perrault won a prize at the International Competition Madrid Rio for its proposed treatment of roads and footpaths in the city, and its junction with the river environment.

Puente de San Martín (Toledo) – Castile-La Mancha Community Wikipedia
The Puente de San Martín (English: San Martin Bridge) is a medieval bridge across the river Tagus in Toledo, Spain.
The bridge was constructed in the late 14th century by archbishop Pedro Tenorio to provide access to the old town from the west, complementing the older Puente de Alcántara linking to the east. Both sides of the bridge were heavily fortified with towers, the more recent dating from the 16th century.
The Puente de San Martín features five arches, with the largest in the middle reaching an impressive span length of 40 m. Only very few bridges in the world had reached that mark until then.
