In a lamentable state of conservation, it can only be seen when the waters of the reservoir are low. A project has been approved for its transfer and restoration. It is part of the road that linked the town, then called Visontium with the city of Uxama (near El Burgo of Osma). The bridge has a length of 87 meters and a width of 3. The maximum height is 5.5 m and the road, of which about 4 km are preserved quite well within the municipal territory with a few milestones, is typically Roman and is dated in the 2nd century. It was a secondary road that joined the main road Astúrica - Cesaraugusta and according to the inscription on the written stone that is in the neighboring town of Molinos de Duero it was made by Lucio Lucrecio Denso, who was Duunviro magistrate. The inscription reads:
HANC VIAM AVG. L (ucius) LUCRET (ius) DENSUS II VIR. V. M. FECIT (translation: The II vir Lucio Lucrecio Denso made this Augusta way)
.
At present its lamentable state of conservation puts its integrity at risk, which is why it has been included in the Red List of heritage in danger of the association for the defense of heritage Hispania Nostra.

Beautiful surroundings. It's hard to guess the bridge, only if you're lucky
