The bridge carries the Athens – Salonica Railroad line over the Athens – Lamia Motorway at Boyiati. The old steel bridge – which served the traffic before – had to be replaced due to Motorway widening and the provision of new railroad lines. The entire bridge comprises 4 simply supported spans (28.1+32.7+32.7+28.1) and has a total length of 121,6m. The deck structure is formed by 9 precast pretensioned beams (which were launched by cranes) together with in – situ reinforced concrete deck slab and bottom flange. The bridge is founded on bored piles. Construction cost (1993) 416 mil. drachmas per carriageway.
