Cala Galdana Bridge

The Cala Galdana Bridge is a steel arch bridge over Algendar Creek on the island of Menorca, Spain. It is the first vehicular bridge constructed in duplex stainless steel. In 2003 its owner (the Consell Insular de Menorca) decided to replace the existing structurally deficient, 18-metre (59-foot) re

inforced concrete bridge due to severe corrosion (due to the marine environment) and settlement in one of its supports. The total length of the bridge is 55 metres (180 feet), and its main span is 45 metres (148 feet) long.
