The total length of the viaduct is 264 m, the vault has an opening of 100 m, and the arch radius is 37 m. It is the largest opening and the biggest construction height of a viaduct in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Under the bridge lies the valley of the Carac\u0103u stream and from the bridge, when the weather is nice, you can see the central part of the Ciuc bottomland.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alert alert-info\">\n<h3>Did you know??<\/h3>\n<p>For a long time, the series of metal bridges between Fete\u0219ti and Cernavod\u0103 railway stations, which cross the Danube and its branches, was the longest in Europe?! Designed and built by the great Romanian engineer Anghel Saligny, this series of bridges, inaugurated in 1895, is still the most remarkable work on the CFR network from a technical and aesthetic point of view. The series consists of 6 bridges and viaducts, with a total length of 4,088 meters, of which the one across the Danube (consisting of 5 openings, the central one of 190 meters) has a total length of 750 meters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family:
