Pont Fernando Reig

Pont Fernando Reig is a modern cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Serpis Valley and connects two sections of the city. The structure is supported by steel cables anchored to a central pylon, creating a framework that spans the deep gorge below.

The bridge was completed in 1987 and resolved a traffic problem that had long limited city expansion. It was part of a broader modernization wave that reshaped Alcoy during the late decades of the 20th century.

The bridge links two neighborhoods and is used daily by residents as part of their routine city life. It has become part of how people navigate and experience the urban layout of Alcoy.

The crossing is wide enough for vehicles and pedestrians and handles traffic well during busy periods. It helps to note that mist often rises from the gorge, which can affect visibility and safety for those crossing.

The pylon is illuminated at night and creates a visual landmark for the city. The lighting emphasizes the cable geometry and makes the structure a recognizable feature in the urban landscape.
