Ponte das Pías

Ponte das Pías spans across the Ferrol estuary, connecting the municipalities of Fene and Ferrol through a four-lane motorized passage.

The bridge, completed in October 1968 with a cost of 246 million pesetas, replaced boat transportation as the primary method of crossing the Ferrol estuary.

The bridge takes its name from the megalithic graves called pías that were discovered near the river in the area of Perlío, Fene.

The current speed regulations on the bridge vary between 80 kilometers per hour and 50 kilometers per hour depending on the specific section.

In January 1998, the offshore platform Discoverer Enterprise collided with the bridge, leading to a renovation that expanded it from two to four lanes.
