Puente Giménez Abad, Modern bridge in Ronda Hispanidad, Zaragoza, Spain
Puente Giménez Abad is a modern concrete bridge that crosses three sections and connects two neighborhoods on opposite sides of the city. The structure integrates into Zaragoza's eastern road system and carries both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
The bridge opened in 2002 and was named in honor of Manuel Giménez Abad, a regional political leader who died in a terrorist attack. The structure was built as part of Zaragoza's expansion of eastern connections and infrastructure.
Engineer Javier Manterola designed this concrete and steel structure as part of Zaragoza's eastern ring road, integrating it into the city's architectural landscape.
The bridge is straightforward to access by car or on foot and integrates well into the city's road system. Visitors can view the structure from various angles, though conditions may change depending on the time of day and traffic flow.
The structure includes a memorial dedicated to Manuel Giménez Abad that gives the site deeper meaning beyond its practical function. For many visitors, it serves as a place of remembrance as much as a transportation link.
