Passarel·la de la Ciutat Jardí, Tied-arch footbridge in Lleida, Spain
The Passarel·la de la Ciutat Jardí spans 38 meters across the Madrid-Barcelona high-speed rail line with a width of 3 meters and an arch height of 6.2 meters.
Constructed in 2001, this pedestrian bridge marked a milestone in engineering by becoming the longest arch bridge made from standard glass fiber reinforced polymer pultruded profiles.
The bridge represents modern Spanish engineering achievement, winning the 2005 international Footbridge Award in the Technology category for medium-span structures.
The structure connects neighborhoods across the railway line while its glass fiber reinforced polymer construction prevents electromagnetic interference with the trains below.
Danish-manufactured materials were transported to Spain for assembly, with the entire bridge installation completed by crane in just three hours at a cost of $2350 per square meter.
