| Abstract: |
The San Marcos viaduct, which is located into the Mexico D.F. – Tuxpan highway, crosses the San Marcos river gorge. The bridge stands out due to the height of its piers and the environment of the river. The tallest pier rises to 208 m and at the moment of the end of construction it has been the highest pier in the world for a bridge constructed with the balanced cantilever method. |
