Pont Nelson Mandela, Arch bridge in El Prat de Llobregat, Spain.

The concrete structure spans 304 meters across the Llobregat River with dual inclined arches and an inverted tripod pier configuration.

The bridge construction started in 2009 and completed in 2015, forming part of the infrastructure development connecting Barcelona Port with El Prat Airport.

The structure received its name in February 2016 to honor South African leader Nelson Mandela's commitment to freedom and equality.

The bridge features a 29-meter wide deck that incorporates dedicated lanes for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians connecting the urban center with industrial areas.

With its 150-meter main span, this bridge ranks as the third longest among Catalan bridges, following those in Tortosa and Mora d'Ebre.
