The Sant Boi Bridge is the first steel structure in the high-speed railway joining the city of Madrid and Barcelona.
The 2,854-foot-long (870 m) bridge is very close to the international airport of Barcelona. This high-speed railway viaduct is in concept similar to Llinars del Vallès Bridge but with a different geometry, is a combination of feasibility, technology, aesthetics and integration in the territory.
The bridge crosses several existing infrastructures (highway, road and railway). The bridge is about 15 km from Barcelona.
