9 de Octubre Bridge

Valencia

IN SHORT

Commissioned by the Government of Valencia in 1986 and built between May 1987 and May 1989, the 9 de Octubre Bridge provides a major vehicular link to the main Madrid road, relieving the areas of la Caldera and Olivereta from traffic. The bridge is conceived as a double, mirror-image viaduct, with the space between the two opposing viaduct structures being determined by the layout of Avenida 9 d'Octubre. The mainly concrete superstructures are supported along the length of their inner sides by concrete columns set 7.2 meters apart (23.6 feet), and along the length of their outer sides by interspaced steel spindles.
