It is a viaduct over the Esla River, located at the Ricobayo reservoir in Zamora (Spain). The structure, 368 meters long, forms part of the 20.3 kilometer La Hiniesta–Perilla de Castro subsection, also awarded to the company, and is integrated into the Zamora–Lubián section of the Madrid–Galicia high-speed rail line.
It consists of spans measuring 70, 93, 50 and 155 meters, the latter being the largest, and notable for being the longest high-speed railway span in Europe constructed using the progressive segment method with two pairs of formwork travelers, as well as one of the longest worldwide. In addition to the viaduct, the project also included the construction of seven overpasses, ten underpasses, two pergola structures over the N-630, and two wildlife crossings.
The infrastructure is located within the Ricobayo reservoir, posing significant technical challenges, particularly in the design and planning of the structure and auxiliary resources to ensure continuous construction regardless of fluctuating water levels. This required a redesign of the viaduct, adapting the span distribution to the topographical conditions and the statistical water levels of the reservoir, while guaranteeing the preservation of a medieval mill, designated as a protected heritage site by the Regional Government of Castilla y León (Spain), located in the immediate vicinity of the works.
