Eiffel Bridge, Láchar

Eiffel Bridge, Láchar, Iron bridge in Láchar, Spain.

The Eiffel Bridge in Láchar is an iron road bridge over the Genil River between Láchar and Pinos Puente, built in 1897 by Gustave Eiffel's studio. Its parts are joined with rivets, with no welding, and it is considered the last vestige of the Industrial Revolution in the Vega de Granada. It collapsed in 2006 and now stands ruined, with a newer bridge beside it.

The bridge was built in 1897 for Julio Quesada-Cañaveral, 8th Duke of San Pedro de Galatino, to link the Íllora station by Decauville railway with two factories he owned in Láchar, making it Granada province's second railway. After the railway closed, cars used it until 2006, when a vehicle broke part of a support and the whole iron structure collapsed.

The bridge links several villages that rely on this passage to move between communities in their daily lives. It represents the era when engineering innovations transformed rural areas and brought different towns closer together through practical infrastructure.

The bridge is visible and reachable from local roads, though accessibility may vary depending on current path conditions in the surrounding area. A newer parallel route was built alongside the original to keep the connection between villages functioning.

The bridge collapsed in 2006 after a vehicle accident broke part of a support, so no span remains standing over the Genil. Its iron pieces were joined only with rivets, without any welding. Today the ruined structure can act as a dam when the river floods.
