In 1891, Alessandre and Delapierre designed this viaduct, almost 83 metres long and 20 metres high. Although its dimensions are smaller than those of other structures on the railway line, the metal grid rests on a huge stone pilaster and the bluestone masonry stands out.
In 1985, with the definitive closure of the line and the cessation of the transport of goods and passengers, the bridge was abandoned until the inauguration of the Vía Verde del Aceite nature trail, which restored some of its former splendour and delighted cyclists and walkers who cross it every day.

During that time, this method of metalworking was very common, creating rivets that avoided welding, like the imposing Eiffel Tower in neighboring Spain. Therefore, all the viaducts along the Oil Train route maintain this construction technique.
Since there were no workshops specialized in this method of metalworking in Spain, the Daydé and Pillé workshops in France were commissioned to build each of these viaducts.
In this case, it may be one of the shortest, but no less striking than the rest.
