Puente del Pedrido

The Pedrido Bridge extends 520 meters across the Betanzos estuary, featuring a central arch supported by forty suspension cables and multiple concrete arches.

Engineers Eduardo Torroja Miret and César Villalba Granda designed the bridge, which opened in 1943 after construction was interrupted during the Spanish Civil War.

Before the bridge construction, local residents relied on rowing boats to cross the Betanzos estuary, making the bridge a symbol of regional progress.

The bridge carries traffic on road AC-164, connecting the municipalities of Bergondo and Paderne with a 5.5-meter-wide roadway for vehicles.

The bridge structure combines three distinct sections, including ten lower arches, a central cable-stayed span, and three final arches in its design.
