Tirantes Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Pontevedra, Spain
The Tirantes Bridge stretches 125 meters across the Lérez River, featuring a central tower that rises 63 meters with 17 pairs of steel cables.
Engineers Leonardo Fernandez Troyano and Francisco Javier Manterola Armisen designed the bridge, which opened in 1995 after three years of construction.
The bridge represents modern Spanish engineering and has earned recognition as one of the 33 most notable bridges in Spain.
In 2013, the bridge underwent modifications to replace one traffic lane with a dedicated bicycle path, improving access for cyclists crossing the Lérez River.
The structure required a specialized construction process independent of water levels due to significant tidal variations in the Pontevedra bay.
