Abetxuko Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
Abetxuko Bridge is a steel truss crossing over the Zadorra River in Vitoria-Gasteiz, linking the northern neighborhood to the city center. The structure consists of two inclined lattice trusses that support vehicular lanes, tram tracks, and pedestrian walkways.
This crossing opened in 2006, replacing a nineteenth-century structure that once served the area with limited capacity. The new construction significantly improved transportation access for the northern district.
The bridge design incorporates structural elements that reference the work of Basque artists while serving as a connection point for the local community.
The crossing functions as a major transportation hub with multiple lanes, tram tracks, and wide pedestrian pathways on each side. Visitors should use the marked areas, particularly during peak times when all forms of traffic are in use.
The bridge construction utilized weathering steel materials at a total cost of 2.7 million euros, marking an investment in both infrastructure and design.
