Puente Pedro Arrupe, Steel and wood footbridge in Bilbao, Spain
The Pedro Arrupe Bridge spans 140 meters across the Nervion River, connecting Abandoibarra Walk with the Avenue of the Universities in Bilbao.
Engineer Jose Antonio Fernandez Ordonez designed the bridge in 2000, and after his death, his son Lorenzo completed the construction in 2003.
The bridge bears the name of Pedro Arrupe, a prominent Jesuit priest from Bilbao who led the Society of Jesus as Superior General.
The structure includes an elevator and wooden pathways that provide access between the university district and the riverfront areas throughout the day.
The bridge structure incorporates thirteen sections of duplex steel weighing 1,000 tonnes each, covered with Lapacho wood to prevent slipping.
