A cable-stayed network was implemented, allowing a significant reduction in bending moments in deck and arch, which leads to structures of great slenderness and transparency. The two inclined arches are linked at the key, a very effective disposition to withstand out-of-plane buckling. The multiple crossings of the stays led to a complex geometric problem that has been solved satisfactorily with an innovative technical design of minimum visual impact.engjournal article10.2749/101686610792016655restricted accessPuentes-Diseño y construcciónIngeniería de la construcción
