The narrow bridge of the high speed road has always been a very good and quite dangerous fishing spot. The new cantilevering walkways provide secure ground for both fishers and tourist enjoying the view over the Atlantic Ocean.

The geometry of the walkways emphasizes the curvature of the Atlantic road that meanders between the islets of the rough coast. A cut in the rock provide parking space for both locals and tourists trying their luck with the fish. Ramps, stairs, walkways and waiting area are prefabricated in galvanized steel and mounted on the existing bridge structure. The railings of the bridge were designed to improve fishing for the disabled.
