The footbridge over the Arakil river was designed, constructed, delivered, and installed by Madergia for its client, Construcciones Mariezcurrena. It was divided into eight sections, which were prefabricated at the Aoiz plant, transported, and assembled on site near its final location. Once assembled, it was placed on the abutments (the footbridge supports), which had been concreted in place over the previous weeks, using a heavy-duty crane. This operation was carried out with great precision.
Designed in RFEM 6 with an arch structure and no intermediate columns, it has a span of 86.8 m (284.8 ft), which is the distance between the structure's support points, and weighs 106 tons.
Up until now, the longest timber footbridges in Spain was the bridge over the Guadalhorce river (70 m / 229.7 ft), in Europe, the footbridge over the Neckar river in Germany (80 m / 262.5 ft), in America, the footbridge over the Bow river in Canada (80 m / 262.5 ft), and in Asia, the footbridge in Suzhou, China (76 m / 249.3 ft) and the cable-stayed footbridge in Anaklia, Georgia (84 m / 275.6 ft). Therefore, the footbridge over the Arakil river sets a new record as a timber footbridge with the longest span in the world.
