The Burguillo Reservoir Arch Bridge is a reinforced concrete arch bridge crossing the El Burguillo Reservoir near Ávila, Spain.[1] Crossing the part of the reservoir known as "Garganta Honda" (deep throat), it is part of the 8km long El Tiemblo bypass. Of the €5.1 million cost of the bypass, the bridge comprised about €2.4 million. Construction began in 1997. The arch was built by a segmental construction method using travelling formwork.
