La Salve Bridge

The La Salve bridge formerly called the Príncipes de España bridge until its change in 2016, is a bridge over the Bilbao estuary in Bilbao, Vizcaya (Spain).

It is called the bridge of the Salve because when the ships arrived at the port of Bilbao through the estuary, at the height of the bridge is the first place where the Virgin of Begoña is seen and there the sailors sang the Salve to her.

Its opening took place on January 9, 1972 and its author was the engineer Juan Batanero García-Geraldo. It was designed at the end of the sixties, to solve the problem of traffic, which was beginning to become saturated in the north of the city. It was also the first in Spain with a brace system and one of the few with a metal deck. It has 23.5 meters of free height for the passage of boats, being fixed.

It is equipped with elevators from its base on the right bank, in the area of La Salve, at the end of Campo de Volantín. These are maintained by the city council, transporting 200,000 passengers annually. They have been free since May 2008.

Next to this bridge, on the left bank of the estuary, is the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao . Furthermore, it is curious to contemplate how the architect of this museum wanted to integrate, in a certain way, this bridge into it, building, for this purpose and on its left side, as seen from the Campo de Volantín, a high tower with access stairs. to the museum, which is located on the right side.
