The Bridge Pavilion crosses the River Ebro in Zaragoza and links the La Almozara district with the Expo 2008 site. Zaha Hadid designed it. The article gives no construction dates, and it describes the covered bridge as imitating a gladiola.
It is 270 meters (890 feet) long. The outer skin uses 29,000 triangles of fiber-reinforced concrete from the Austrian company Rieder, in shades of grey. A multi-level exhibition area sits inside. It served as the main entrance to the Expo, with 10,000 visitors an hour expected.
It hosted the Expo exhibition Water, a unique resource. After the Expo, the savings bank Ibercaja bought the building and used it for exhibitions.
