Requejo Bridge or bridge Duero.El Pino on the viaduct bridge Requejo, better known as Pino bridge is a work of English engineering, built to save the Douro River as it passes through the municipalities Pino Zamorano and Villadepera.
The construction of this bridge marked the opening of a communication between the counties of Zamora Sayago and Ready. Previously, the only route between the two territories consisted of a boat sailing between Pine and Villadepera. It is very illustrative side Sayag, the famous "Road of the Carriers' end in the" Camino de la Barca. "
Background
Before the bridge there Pino, direct communication between Sayago and Ready was done by boat by ropes that move toward or away from the banks of the Duero. The latest concession known for this service was operated by the Marquis of Santa Colomba. [1]
The Duero and was crossed by these payments in Roman times through an auxiliary route from Ledesma, Bletisama, crossing the lands of Zamora Miranda, for Novas Village in the Hill of Castro Villardiegua and followed in detail by Ramón Sánchez Corzo late seventies of last century to the Castle of Alba, no doubt to bind to the Itinerary XVII. The passage of the Duero to Novas Villages marked on the rock of the right bank of the Douro and in the international section and also the vegetation on rock, today the reservoirs are impossible to follow the tracks, without forgetting that half down the Douro after Pajarancas is four feet per mile, which indicates that large floods and over more than two thousand years has swept all traces or rest. But the roads on land are a reference and have been for centuries and even millennia, and no doubt down to the boat of the Marquis of Santa Colomba has followed more or less the original layout, with very marked the place where the barge docked on the right bank, Pino term and is still marked by the remains of the hermitage of San Esteban, whose hillside vineyards and olive groves speak out where we are and how the microclimate has been exploited in the sunshine.
pregnancy and construction Pino
The bridge was inaugurated on September 15, 1914 by Abilio Calderón, director general of public works. In its time, the resulting bridge was the longest span, 120 m, and the most high, 90 meters above the river, Spain. [3]
The first known history of the gestation of this bridge back to the middle century Century, when its first drive, Matthew Sagasta Práxedes is offered to promote this new project after he was first elected Member of Parliament for Zamora. Eduardo Lopez Navarro later study it for a site about two miles downstream, and its grade much lower and the solution provided with two sections of cast iron. [4]
Given the importance that the area had this bridge, all County Council candidates to boost Cortes offered the building, but nothing was done until Federico Requejo, passing by the Directorate General of Public Works, was able to consider the road to Salamanca Fonfría to Fermoselle, and with it bridge [4].
The project finally approved was given by the engineer José Eugenio Ribera in 1897. The mounting difficulty showing, did any construction be submitted to the first auction of the work. Finally, society would be hard Felguera which stayed with her and that started, but to get the mounting difficulties forced him to give the work to another company, called assemblies, which after starting its work was suspended and then abandoned by difficulties involved in mounting. Finally, turn your work into the hands of its former contractor, under the direction of work Robustiano Fernandez and labor in the area, finally managed to finish the work, not during the assembly of the arc incident occurred or any accident.
Requejo Bridge or Pine Bridge was built to bridge over the Douro River and its steep valley, offering a comfortable and fluid communication between the towns of Pine and Villadepera Zamora.
This iron viaduct early s. XX made headlines nationwide for his polished technique, beauty and performance, what it meant to be a true landmark in the historical development of communication routes and Spain Zamora.
Nearly 100 years later, Requejo bridge still has a special aura, printed for their special architectural character of unique, mostly covered for its spectacular light and colorful design. Circumstance which, in turn, is fueled by the unparalleled uniqueness and beauty of your host country, the Natural Park of Douro Arribes.
The construction, performed according to the design engineer José Eugenio Ribera Dutaste English, in Spain led to the improvement of the parameters of light and height of existing bridges, as they had 120 and 90 meters respectively.
