Puente de Madera, Railway bridge from 1905 in Albacete, Spain
The Wooden Bridge is a stone railway bridge from the early 1900s that now sits within a roundabout between two sections of the Albacete Linear Park. It displays traditional architectural features and is surrounded by pathways that park visitors walk along.
The bridge takes its name from an earlier wooden structure built over the railway line during the 1800s. The current stone version was constructed in the early 1900s to replace the original wooden crossing.
The bridge stands as a reminder of the railway's importance in shaping the city, and visitors passing through the park experience this industrial heritage as part of their daily walk. It represents how transportation history remains woven into the urban landscape.
The bridge can be accessed via pathways that run through the entire Linear Park system and are easy to reach on foot or by bike. An old railway traffic signal still standing next to the structure helps orient visitors and shows the site's former railway use.
The bridge has been repurposed from an active railway crossing into a landmark within the urban park system. Today it stands as an example of how industrial infrastructure can be transformed into a gathering space for the community.
