It spans the Duero River in Zamora (Castilla y León), connecting Avenida de Portugal (Pinilla neighborhood) with Calle de Salamanca in the city. The project began in 1882, with construction starting in 1892, under the direction of engineer Prudencio Guadalajara, to alleviate the overloading of the old Stone Bridge. Inaugurated in 1900, it represented a significant improvement in handling the growing traffic in the city. It was designed in steel, using a metal lattice structure of the St. Andrew's Cross type, typical of the late 19th century.
