The incredible construction of the Barranco de Erques viaduct in Tenerife
A fascinating time-lapse film showing construction of the Erques Bridge on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
The Erques viaduct was built over this unique landscape with the aim of joining two of Tenerife’s most populated municipalities, while protecting the flora and fauna of the natural environment.
The Erques viaduct is a suspension bridge comprised by two arches, each weighing 120 tonnes and spanning 110 metres. When we think of infrastructures of this magnitude, we rarely reflect on how they were built. What stages does the construction project go through? How are all the different components prepared? How does it all get to the building site?
