Yes, it's a lovely bridge that was built in 1926 for the
Ibero-American Exposition, which was held three years later. After a new bridge was built in 1992, the local authorities wanted to demolish it but citizens groups managed to save it, and it now has a bus lane, a protected bike lane and a sidewalk. On the days that demonstrations are held, the bus lane is opened up to bicycles and pedestrians and buses are rerouted.
