Description

The Zubizuri (Basque for "white bridge"), is a classic Calatrava design. The footbridge across the Nervion River in Bilbao, Spain provides convenient pedestrian access across the river. Opened in 1997, the bridge's unusual design consists of a curved walkway which is supported by steel suspension cables from an overhead arch. The structure of the bridge is painted the classic Calatrava white and the bridge deck consists of translucent glass bricks. Access ramps and stairways are located on both banks. As written on one website: “The bridge has also been accused of impracticality: it is locally infamous for the glass bricks set into its floor, which can become slippery in the wet climate of the city.” The upper surface of the footbridge is now covered with a type of ‘indoor-outdoor carpeting’ that gives better foot traction for walking but which make rolling a suitcase quite a but harder! At night, the bridge has an elegant lighting in the bridge deck making photography more interesting than during the daytime.
