Puente de Miraflores, Bilbao

The Miraflores Bridge spans 316 meters across the Nervion River with a central arch rising 45 meters above the water level.

The bridge, inaugurated on April 28, 1995, marked the first elevated crossing over the Nervion River since the Puente de la Salve in 1972.

Engineers Juan Jose Arenas de Pablo and Marcos Pantaleón designed this concrete structure with twenty-eight columns supporting its monumental central arch.

The bridge connects the A-8 highway to the Bolueta neighborhood, providing a vital transportation link for vehicles and pedestrians without toll charges.

The Provincial Council of Biscay opened the bridge without an inauguration ceremony due to concerns about potential protests from local residents.
