The Arganzuela Footbridge ( Spanish: puente or pasarela de Arganzuela, formally puente monumental de Arganzuela, also puente de Perrault) is a pedestrian bridge in Madrid, Spain.
It partially occupies the land released by the burying of the M-30. Designed by Dominique Perrault, [1] it cost about €13.6M. [2]
Building works started in February 2010. [3] The footbridge actually consists of two separate metal cones, [3] one passing over the Madrid Río park while the other crosses over the Manzanares, nearly meeting at an elevated middle point serving as lookout of the Madrid Río park. [3] The combined structure is 278 m long. [4] Perrault employs plate rolling for the curved steel plates along the bridge span. [5]
It was opened on 24 March 2011, although initially only for diurnal usage. [3]
