vizcaya bridge


The Vizcaya Bridge, also known as Bizkaiko Zubia in Basque and Puente de Vizcaya in Spanish, is a significant engineering landmark. As the world's oldest transporter bridge, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2006. This bridge is not only a marvel of industrial revolution-era construction but also a symbol of the Basque Country's rich cultural heritage. Its design reflects a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, allowing for the uninterrupted flow of maritime traffic while providing a vital connection between communities. The Vizcaya Bridge continues to operate today, transporting vehicles and passengers across the Nervion River, just as it has done for over a century.
