Its old Roman remains, <strong>&#8220;Ponte Veteri&#8221;<\/strong> gave the city its name. This infrastructure is a symbol of the city and is part of its coat of arms. The oldest clue in reference to the Roman past of this bridge is <strong>Hadrian&#8217;s milestone<\/strong>, dated 134, used to give continuity to the XIX road. The deterioration of this bridge would have given way to its new construction in the 12th century.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge of El Burgo underwent many changes throughout its history. Although it currently has <strong>eleven semicircular arches<\/strong>, excavations carried out in 2006 uncovered another four arches that were buried underground.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>[vc_raw_html]JTNDdmlkZW8lMjBpZCUzRCUyMnZpbWVvJTIyJTIwYXV0b3BsYXklM0QlMjJhdXRvcGxheSUyMiUyMGxvb3AlM0QlMjJsb29wJTIyJTIwbXV0ZWQlM0QlMjIlMjIlM0UlMEElM0Nzb3VyY2UlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnBsYXllci52aW1lby5jb20lMkZleHRlcm5hbCUyRjUzNTc0MjA2Ny5oZC5tcDQlM0ZzJTNEYTM2OGNiN2RhZDcxZTNkNGZmYzEyMjAwMWZkMmQ1ZDI5ZDQyMjMzNCUyNmFtcCUzQnByb2ZpbGVfaWQlM0QxNzUlMjIlMjB0eXBlJTNEJTIydmlkZW8lMkZtcDQlMjIlMjAlMkYlM0UlMEElM0MlMkZ2aWRlbyUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;leyenda-foto&#8221;]<em>Illumination of the Burgo Bridge<\/em>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>[vc_column_text font_family=&#8221;Gilroy&#8221;]Since the 16th century there have been several reforms, due among other things to the deterioration of the bridge and a great flood that almost swept it away, it also widened in the mid-20th century, giving rise to its current appearance. The <strong>latest reform<\/strong> has turned the Burgo bridge into a pedestrian bridge for the enjoyment of pedestrians and cyclists. Its lighting includes a set of LED lights that illuminate the section of the Camino de Santiago, in addition to the play of lights that enhance its arches.

The structure has a 63-metre-high concrete tower from which a total of 17 pairs of cables support the deck and rest on two concrete bases. These bases act as a counterweight balancing out the stress of the tower. When night falls over the river L\u00e9rez, the lighting on the bridge allows you to see its reflection across the river&#8217;s waters, making it a magnificent image to complete an interesting day out in the city of Pontevedra.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;9273&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;leyenda-foto&#8221;]<em>View from the Tirantes Bridge<\/em>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><h2 class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-font-normal wpex-m-auto wpex-max-w-100 vcex-heading-plain wpex-block wpex-text-left\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block wpex-clr\">Corrientes Bridge\/ Bridge of the Currents<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text font_family=&#8221;Gilroy&#8221;]It is the <strong>newest \u201cgreat bridge\u201d in the city<\/strong>, built in 2012 it was chosen by citizens and experts through an open competition.<\/p>\n<p>Its design combines <strong> aesthetics and functionality, <\/strong> as it has a combination of platforms for different traffic: four lanes for cars, one for bicycles and two pedestrian-only covered in glass.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the pedestrian crossings of Domingo de Font\u00e1n and Urugay continue under the bridge allowing you to see the river through the methacrylate panels.<\/p>\n<p>Its aesthetic stands out for its simple shapes, mostly curves, which give this bridge a special beauty and personality. Its typology is arched, to be in line with its neighbors the Burgo Bridge and The La Barca Bridge. It should be noted that it does not interfere with the course of the river, since the supports that sustain it are located on the banks of the river.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding its <strong> lighting <\/strong>, although it is white most of the time, the Corrientes Bridge joins the colored light show that takes place on the Burgo Bridge for 5 minutes each night, so they show a similar appearance.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;9269&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;leyenda-foto&#8221;]<em>Corrientes Bridge\/ Bridge of the Currents<\/em>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><h2 class=\"vcex-module vcex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-font-normal wpex-m-auto wpex-max-w-100 vcex-heading-plain wpex-block wpex-text-left\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block wpex-clr\">Illa do Cobo pedestrian walkway<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text font_family=&#8221;Gilroy&#8221;]As its name suggests, it is a <strong>bridge for people only<\/strong>, small in size but neat in design.
