Pasarela Milla Digital, Pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Zaragoza, Spain.
Pasarela de Delicias is a 240-metre footbridge by engineer Juan José Arenas, author also of the Puente del Tercer Milenio. It crosses the Avenida Ciudad de Soria and the Tercer Cinturón junction in three spans: a 90-metre access ramp near the Intermodal Station, a curved 60-metre middle section, and a final 90-metre stretch hung from a 28-metre mast weighing 60 tonnes, raised in late January 2008. Its north end stops at a lift shaft ringed by a metal stair.
The bridge was completed in 2008 as part of Zaragoza's plan to modernize its transportation network. It emerged during a period when the city focused on connecting newly developed areas with improved infrastructure.
The bridge takes its name from the neighbouring Delicias district even though it stands in La Almozara, the same quirk as the adjoining station. It forms part of the Milla Digital, the digital-mile project on former railway land, and its northern end was built to be enclosed by the planned Centro de Arte y Tecnología.
The bridge offers a direct route for pedestrians and cyclists wanting to avoid street traffic below. Visitors should note the separate areas designed so both types of users have room to move comfortably.
The bridge and the adjoining Zaragoza-Delicias station both stand in the La Almozara district but carry the name of the neighbouring Delicias district. Its northern end stops abruptly at a lift shaft ringed by a metal staircase, built to be wrapped later by the planned Centro de Arte y Tecnología.
