Puente de Itsas Aurre, Steel bridge in Ondarroa, Spain.

The Puente de Itsas Aurre spans 71.5 meters across the Artibai River with a triangular arch design featuring two separate deck levels for different traffic types.

Santiago Calatrava designed this bridge in 1994 as part of a new access route to minimize vehicle traffic through Ondarroa's center and improve harbor accessibility.

The bridge represents the first project by Santiago Calatrava in the Basque Country, leading to additional architectural works including Bilbao Airport and Zubizuri Bridge.

The structure includes an elevated semicircular deck specifically for pedestrians and a lower flat deck with two vehicle lanes plus a three-meter-wide sidewalk.

The engineering incorporates rigid beams and paired steel cables connecting the supporting arch to both decks, creating a distinct structural system.
