Pont de Can Peixauet

Pont de Can Peixauet, Cable-stayed bridge over the Besòs in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Spain

The Pont de Can Peixauet is a cable-stayed bridge over the Besós River, linking Santa Coloma de Gramenet with Barcelona's Bon Pastor district. Its 138-metre deck, 35 metres wide, is suspended along a single central plane of stays anchored in a central box girder, with two reinforced-concrete piers dividing it into three spans and a 76-metre main span.

The Pont de Can Peixauet was inaugurated in 1992, the last of four bridges linking Santa Coloma de Gramenet with Barcelona, built under the city improvement plan for the Olympic Games. It was designed by the engineers Juan José Arenas de Pablo and Marcos Pantaleón. The first crossing between the two municipalities, the old Pont Vell, opened in 1913, followed by the Can Zam and Molinet bridges.

Locals call it Pont del Potosí because it continues Carrer del Potosí. It was the fourth and last bridge linking Santa Coloma de Gramenet with Barcelona, opened in 1992 under the city improvement plan for the Olympic Games. Its 6-metre-wide pedestrian walks were laid out for strolling and resting while looking at the Besòs.

The bridge is accessible to vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists with dedicated paths for each type of traffic. Visitors can walk across the structure and observe the river and surrounding landscape from different vantage points.

The deck hangs from a single cable plane on the bridge's central axis, so the transverse bending of the deck posed greater difficulties than the longitudinal forces. Inside the central box girder, a transverse diaphragm every 7.20 m anchors a pair of stays. Two reinforced-concrete piers divide the span into three parts, the central one 76 m long.
