Thus, in Mexico, Northern Toll Road has the pioneer seismic monitoring system of its type on a global scale, intelligent payment systems (free-flow arches), the use of photovoltaic energy and LED technology. In Spain, OHLA has built the first concrete suspension bridges such as the Fernández Casado bridge over the Barrios de Luna reservoir (León), the world-record concrete suspension bridge in its day.
