Deusto Bridge, Bascule bridge in Bilbao, Spain.
The Deusto Bridge extends 500 meters across the Bilbao estuary, constructed with iron and concrete, connecting the districts of Abando and Deusto.
Engineers Ignacio de Rotaeche and José Ortiz de Artiñano designed the bridge in 1931, drawing inspiration from Chicago's Michigan Avenue Bridge design.
The bridge underwent name changes, from Generalissimo Bridge to Deusto Bridge in 1979, reflecting Spain's transition from dictatorship to democracy.
The structure includes an elevator and spiral staircase connecting to Paseo de Abandoibarra, accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic across its 25-meter width.
The bridge mechanism could tilt to 70 degrees horizontal until 1995, allowing ships to pass through the estuary before the construction of Euskalduna Bridge.
