Puente Hospital

Murcia

IN SHORT

The growth and expansion of the city of Murcia have created the need for new connections between the Segura River banks and the city as well as the upgrading of existing bridges. Calatrava was approached to design two closely related bridge projects; a new footbridge across the Segura River and the expansion of an existing hospital bridge located some 300 meters (984 feet) upriver. The hospital bridge project envisions doubling the width of the existing bridge to relieve the traffic bottleneck.
