The Arganzuela Footbridge in Madrid was designed by Dominique Perrault. Building works began in February 2010, and it opened on March 24, 2011, at first for daytime use only. The article names no client and no style. The cost was about 13.6 million euros.
The bridge is a pedestrian crossing of the Manzanares River, built where the M-30 motorway was buried and the Madrid Río park took its place. Two separate metal cones meet at an elevated middle point that serves as a lookout. One cone rises over the park and the other over the river. The steel plates were curved by plate rolling.
The bridge is 278 meters (912 feet) long. It is open to pedestrians only. The article records no awards.
