History and description
Programmed as part of the infrastructures for the Expo '92, building works took place from 1989 to 1991.[1] Part of the SE-30 ring-road, it displays a total length of 565 m, with a main span of 265 m and a maximum height of 102 m.[2][1] It crosses the river near the Batán harbour of the Port of Seville.[2] The 5 spans are as follows: (48 – 102 – 265 – 102 – 48) m.[2] The bridge has 88 strap cables.[3]
The bridge opened on 15 November 1991.[4] Only featuring 2 lanes of motor vehicles on each side, it soon became a bottleneck.[5]
