Cadiz - Puente de la Constitución de 1812

The Puente de la Constitución de 1812, also known as the Puente de La Pepa, is a bridge over the Bay of Cadiz that connects Cadiz with Puerto Real on the Spanish mainland.

It has two 180 m high pylons, a span of 540 m and a clearance of 69 m. After the Carranza Bridge, it is the second bridge to connect the mainland to Cadiz and, with a track width of 69 m it is one of the highest bridges in Europe.

The bridge had to have a clearance of 69 m so as not to interfere with access to the shipyard in the Bay of Cadiz, and therefore requires long ramp bridges to bring traffic up to this height. Including these ramp bridges, it is therefore 3095 m long. The entire transport structure, including the 796 m long Viaducto del Río San Pedro, which was built at the same time, is around 5 km long.

The bridge was inaugurated in 2015
