Bridge of La Estrella of 1933

The Bridge of La Estrella spans the Esla River at the Ricobayo Reservoir, serving as a crucial connection point on the N-631 national road network.

Built in 1933 to replace an earlier structure from 1869, this bridge represents a significant infrastructure development during Spain's pre-civil war period.

The bridge stands as a testament to early 20th-century Spanish engineering, demonstrating the construction techniques and materials used during that period.

The bridge's platform measures less than 4 meters in width, making it the only national road bridge in Spain where two vehicles cannot pass simultaneously.

Located near recreational areas like La Encomienda, the bridge handles approximately 3,206 vehicles daily, including 9.5 percent heavy transport vehicles.
