Cala Galdana Bridge, Steel arch bridge in Menorca, Spain.
The Cala Galdana Bridge is a steel structure that spans the Algendar gorge with two parallel arches featuring a triangular cross-section. It accommodates cars, pedestrians, and bicycles as they cross between the two connected towns.
The bridge was built between 2004 and 2005, replacing an older concrete structure. This project was necessary to meet the growing transportation needs of the region.
The bridge connects the municipalities of Ciutadella de Menorca and Ferreries, supporting local transportation needs while integrating with the coastal landscape.
The bridge is open to regular traffic and can be crossed on foot or by car without special restrictions. It directly connects two important towns and is easily accessible without requiring any special arrangements.
This structure uses duplex stainless steel, a specialized material particularly resistant to sea air and corrosion. The choice of this material makes it an innovative solution for Menorca's challenging coastal environment.
