Overview

  • The Diputación de Valencia successfully installed the central steel arch of the new cycle-pedestrian bridge over the A-38 to enhance non-motorized connectivity.
  • The bridge’s design faithfully replicates the historic Alfonso XIII iron bridge, celebrating Valencia’s industrial and railway heritage.
  • The structure, weighing nearly 100 tonnes and spanning 60 meters, was installed overnight using heavy-duty cranes to minimize traffic disruption.
  • Safety and accessibility features include non-slip pavement, integrated LED lighting, high protective railings, and accessible ramps for all users.
  • This marks the first phase of a broader intermunicipal mobility plan, with a new cycle-pedestrian lane to Fortaleny set to begin construction in early 2026.
