Queen Victoria's Bridge, Arch and road bridge across Manzanares River, Madrid, Spain.

The bridge stands on two parallel elliptical reinforced concrete arches and includes two lanes for vehicles crossing the Manzanares River in central Madrid.

Engineer José Eugenio Ribera designed and constructed this concrete bridge, which King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia inaugurated on June 13, 1909.

The structure features four decorative vases and eight cast-iron lampposts with bears from Madrid's coat of arms, created by Francisco Iglesias.

Pedestrians and drivers can access the bridge from Príncipe Pío metro station, connecting Bombilla Park with the San Antonio de la Florida district.

The bridge demonstrates early applications of reinforced concrete in Spanish infrastructure, marking a transition in construction methods during the early 1900s.
