Puente de la Almozara, Transportation bridge in Zaragoza, Spain
Description
The Puente de la Almozara is a bridge over the Ebro River that links the northern and southern parts of Zaragoza. It carries multiple lanes for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians who cross it throughout the day.
History
The structure was built in 1870 as a railway bridge and underwent major reconstruction in 1947 under engineer Eduardo Torroja. In the 1980s it was transformed into the road bridge that exists today.
Culture
A stainless steel locomotive sculpture at the bridge entrance commemorates its railway heritage, while the Cierzo artwork marks its Plaza Europa side.
Practical
After its 2009 renovation, the bridge features a central pedestrian walkway with a dedicated bicycle lane, making crossing easy for walkers and cyclists. The spacious pedestrian area accommodates foot traffic even during busy periods.
Did you know?
The bridge features two separate decks from its railway era, even though only one track was actually operational before it was converted to road use. This double structure remains visible today and tells the story of its earlier purpose.
