Puente de San Juan de Aznalfarache, Steel bridge between Seville and San Juan de Aznalfarache, Spain.
The Puente de San Juan de Aznalfarache is a steel bridge crossing the Guadalquivir River and connecting Seville with the southern municipality of San Juan de Aznalfarache. The structure was originally designed to lift, allowing river traffic to pass underneath.
The bridge was built in 1930 as part of improvements to Seville's port infrastructure. It was developed alongside other projects that aimed to modernize river navigation and commerce in the region.
The bridge stands as an engineering example from the early 20th century, reflecting the industrial architecture and transportation needs of that period.
The bridge is open to vehicles and pedestrians from both directions, with regular crossings between Seville and the southern Aljarafe region. When walking across, expect standard traffic conditions.
The old lifting arm of the structure is still visible, even though the mechanism no longer functions. It serves as a reminder of when the river was an important shipping route for regional commerce.
