Puente de Santiago, Girder bridge in Pontevedra, Spain.
The Santiago Bridge stretches 99 meters across the Lérez River with four traffic lanes and two pedestrian walkways, supported by four concrete pillars.
The Spanish Ministry of Public Works completed the construction of Santiago Bridge in 1983 at a cost of 173 million pesetas.
The bridge received its name due to its role as a natural exit route toward Santiago de Compostela, replacing its initial designation as Third Bridge.
The structure connects the city center with A Xunqueira and O Burgo districts through the N-550 road, reducing congestion on older crossings.
The bridge features two separate decks with three spans each, including a central span of 48 meters and two lateral spans of 25 meters.
