Were supposed to be finished this very same years. However, the Central Government was thrown into the reconstruction of the catalan bridges demolishd during the war and because of that the construction of the Bridge “ O Pedrido” has a delay auntil 1943

The bridge as opended on 16th April 1943 , making easier in this way the communication between the two banks of the esturary, which had been linked until this moment by a service of passage , an activity which also gave name to this bridge.

Finally, it was designed by Eduardo Torroja Miret. This architect was born in Madrid on 27th August 1899 and died on the 15th June 1961 while he was working in the technical Institute of Construction and concrete. He was the son of Eduardo Torroja Caballe, an architect and doctor in science with a wide publication in maths and Geometry. He was also a great divulger of these subjects in the schools of teaching which there was in Spain at the beginning of the century reflecting the new European movements.

He was one or the great engineers of its age . In most of his works , he was an innovator because he used the reinforced concrete to the architectonical estructures. One of the main features related to constructuion of this architect can be observed in the mixing of the most progressive techincs wiht the use of reinforced concret together with some revolutionary forms nerver used before until this moment.

The central stretch of the bridge is 75 metres long and a reinforced concrete arch 12,5 metres long with two joints and a lowerboard is hanged by suspension cables spaces to 3,65 metres is planned over it.

The arch is made up of two main ribs of variable beeble of 1,10 metres long and with an uniform width of 1,20 metres long.

The main armour of the arch has laminated outlines joined electrically and studied to allow the launch of the arch in its two halves from each extreme and once both parts have been linked in the keystone and the crosspiece has been put in its place, it is important to put the reinforced concrete in three treads.

The suspension cables are put together before to make the arch of reinforced concrete and once this has been done , the cross joists hang and are ready to receive the plank mould and the wrought irons.

The crosspiece is made up of squared iron welded electrically on its connections which are grouped within the thickness of the “andeles”

The union of the brace and the arch is made rigidly because the board is elastic enough so as to allow the free play of the arch on its ends.

The joints of the support are one fixed and one mobile thanks to joints of reinforced concrete.
