General Serrador Bridge, bridge in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

The General Serrador Bridge spans the Barranco de Santos in Santa Cruz de Tenerife with a central arch about 30 metres long. It is 13 metres wide, carrying a two-lane road, pavements and parking, with light granite verticals, reinforced concrete railings and precast moldings. Two access viaducts stand on one side of the arch and four on the other, and matching 3-metre-wide staircases at each end link the upper and lower levels. Bronze lions flank both entrances.

The bridge was built in 1943 by architect José Blasco Robles and named after Captain General Ricardo Serrador Santés. It emerged during post-war reconstruction as part of the city's infrastructure development.

The bridge was built to link Calle del Norte with the Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África, and the market remains the main reference point at its northern end. The bronze lions at both entrances are copies of the 18th-century monument at the Alto del León on the Guadarrama pass, which commemorates the taking of the pass in the Battle of Guadarrama.

The bridge is easily accessible on foot and connects two busy street areas in the city center. It is used daily by pedestrians and vehicles with a straightforward, direct passage without major obstacles.

The two bronze lions at the entrances are copies of the 18th-century monument at Alto del León on the Guadarrama pass, which commemorates the victory of then-colonel Ricardo Serrador Santés in the Battle of Guadarrama. They were replaced during repair works in 2016, when pylons also blocked parking on the deck and a new basaltic stone balustrade was installed.
