long

unique mode of construction

The width of the arch is 15 m and the width of the deck varies between 25 m and 41 m. This is a unique mode of construction, building the arch using a cantilever design, together with the piers and the deck, provisionally triangulating the structure with cables and driving the stress toward both abutments, which in turn are anchored to the ground with rock anchors.
