Viaducts on the Yellow Line of the Metropolitan of Lisbon in Ameixoeira – Odivelas sections

New construction

Project Description

This project consists of two viaducts on the Yellow Line of the Lisbon Metro, on the sections between Ameixoeira and Odivelas.
The first viaduct, on the Ameixoeira-Senhor Roubado section, is located over the Calçada de Carriche with a total length of 64 metres and a maximum span of 35 metres. Its execution on a road with heavy traffic led to the adoption of a solution with precast beams.
The second viaduct, on the Senhor Roubado-Odivelas section, has a total length of 822 metres and a maximum span of 46 metres. The reinforced and prestressed concrete deck, with two ribs having a height of 1.80 metres and a width of 8 metres, was built with ground-supported scafolding. The deck support is mainly achieved through piers with sliding bearings and shock absorber bearings, which are founded on piles.
