Bridge of el Príncipe

Monument · Talavera de la Reina, Talavera, Toledo

The Prince Philip Bridge, also known as the New Bridge, is one of the four urban crossings of the Tagus in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo), together with the Old Bridge of Santa Catalina, the Iron Bridge or Queen Sofía Bridge, and the Castilla-La Mancha Bridge. It was opened on 12 July 1973 by the then Minister of Public Works, Gonzalo Fernández de la Mora, to eliminate the queues of vehicles that formed daily at the entrance to the Iron Bridge. It has a deck 19 metres wide, with two separate carriageways of two lanes each and pedestrian walkways, and a length of 805 metres divided into 38 spans of prestressed concrete.
