History and description edit
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]
