Suspended bridge over the river Vinalopó, about 200 m long and 23 m wide (including two 8-meter wide motorways, a 1-meter wide division and two 3-meter wide walkways). An asymmetrical suspended structure, with a single pillar made of concrete and located on the northern shore of the river. The pillar includes a vantage point. The bridge is very light, with an extremely slender floor and cables that rhythmically divide space in order to attain a monumental effect.
