Pont de l'Exposició, Modern bridge in Valencia, Spain.
Description
Pont de l'Exposició is a modern bridge spanning the former Turia riverbed in Valencia with a distinctive white steel structure tilted at an unusual angle. The 131-meter-long construction connects different areas with separate paths for vehicles and pedestrians.
History
A footbridge from 1909 originally stood at this location, leading to the exhibition grounds of that era and later destroyed during a flood. The new structure was built as part of Valencia's major project to convert the dried riverbed into green space and infrastructure.
Culture
The bridge fits into Valencia's transformation of the former riverbed into a green park that locals and visitors use daily for walking and cycling. This shift shows how the city reimagined a historic space as a modern recreational zone.
Practical
The bridge is easily walkable and provides a wide, level path across the park. Visitors can pass through at any time since the structure is always open and usable in all weather conditions.
Did you know?
Construction presented a clever solution, as the bridge was built elsewhere first and then moved to its final location above the metro station. This method was necessary to avoid disrupting the underground infrastructure.
