Frank Gehry Bridge, Modern bridge and bike path in Zorrotzaurre, Spain.
The Frank Gehry Bridge is a modern road bridge over a canal in Bilbao that accommodates cars, pedestrians, and cyclists. The structure spans roughly 75 meters and provides pathways on both sides plus a separate cycling track in the center.
The bridge was designed in the early 2010s and completed in the mid-2010s as part of the harbor area's transformation. It was a key step in reconnecting two districts that were previously difficult to reach from each other.
The bridge links two neighborhoods that are transforming and growing. People use this route daily to move between districts while experiencing views of the river and the surrounding landscape.
The route is very accessible for pedestrians and cyclists and easy to reach from both sides. Benches line the route where you can stop and enjoy views of the canal.
The bridge uses a special construction with angled beams that works without middle supports, keeping the view to the canal completely clear. This design is not what most people expect from a street bridge.
