Bridge of Arganda del Rey

The Bridge of Arganda del Rey is a steel structure that spans the Jarama River, connecting two communities within the Madrid metropolitan area. It has a straightforward functional design that crosses over the riverbed and allows local traffic to flow between the towns.

The bridge was built as an important transport project to better connect agricultural areas around Madrid. Its construction was part of the road network expansion that modernized the region during the 20th century.

The bridge serves as a meeting point for local residents who gather near its entrance during traditional summer festivities in Arganda del Rey.

The structure is open daily for pedestrians and vehicles to cross the river directly. The best time to cross is during daylight hours when visibility is good.

The bridge is built with special robustness to withstand the strong currents and seasonal floods of the Jarama. Its design reflects practical engineering that accounts for the river's challenges.
