The passage of the Antequera-Granada high-speed line through the Loja region takes place in an environmentally sensitive and highly complex area, in which the presence of an aquifer stands out. The route of the Loja Bypass, which runs approximately a third of its route in a tunnel or viaduct, solves the technical challenge and the preservation of the environment with a new itinerary to the south of the city and the A-92 highway, the slope of the Loja mountain range.
In its layout, the Manzanil viaducts (1.7 kilometers) stand out, in the Loja-A-92 Variant section; and Genil (794 meters) and Salar (693), which will allow safeguarding an area of special archaeological value, in the section that crosses the Genil Valley.

Two tunnels have also been planned in the section that crosses the A-92, in the Sierra Gorda massif: Las Monjas (693 meters) and Los Abades (615).
