Puente Colgante, Valladolid, Tied-arch bridge in Valladolid, Spain
The Puente Colgante spans 75 meters across the Pisuerga River, connecting Salamanca Avenue with Zorrilla Walk at a height of 31.6 meters above the riverbed.
The bridge, designed by Lucio del Valle and constructed in 1865, represents the first bowstring bridge built in Spain using hot-riveted wrought iron manufactured in Birmingham.
This metal structure stands as the second oldest bridge in Valladolid, marking a shift from traditional stone construction to industrial engineering during the 19th century.
Following a complete restoration in 1995, the original wooden deck was replaced with a metal surface to improve durability and structural integrity.
The bridge employs a bowstring design where horizontal deck absorbs forces from the arch, eliminating the need for massive abutments typically required for traditional arch bridges.
