El Puente de los Santos - Ribadeo, Lugo, Galicia, España - Arch Bridges on Waymarking.com

ES: "El puente de los Santos se extiende durante 612 metros sobre ría de Ribadeo desde 1987, año en el que fue construida, para servir de vía de conexión entre las dos comunidades autónomas.

Su construcción supuso una auténtica transformación e impulso para la actividad económica, comercial y turística de la zona.

Tras su reforma en 2008 para acoger el paso de la autovía del Cantábrico A-8, el puente consta de cuatro calzadas y dos aceras, desde las que los caminantes pueden contemplar las hermosas vistas de la ría.

La construcción de este tramo de autovía hizo de Ribadeo un punto de tránsito y también de parada atractivo para los viajeros que cruzan por la costa entre Asturias y Galicia.

El puente de los Santos recibe este nombre por su cercanía a dos capillas de la villa de Ribadeo, la capilla de San Román en Figueiras y la de San Miguel en Ribadeo, sitas en extremos opuestos de la ría."

EN: "The Puente de los Santos bridge spans 612 meters over the Ribadeo estuary since 1987, the year it was built, to serve as a connection route between the two autonomous communities.

Its construction meant an authentic transformation and impulse for the economic, commercial and tourist activity of the area.

After its reform in 2008 to accommodate the passage of the A-8 Cantabrian highway, the bridge consists of four carriageways and two sidewalks, from which walkers can contemplate the beautiful views of the estuary.

The construction of this stretch of motorway made Ribadeo a transit point and also an attractive stopover for travelers crossing the coast between Asturias and Galicia.

The Saints Bridge receives this name because of its proximity to two chapels in the town of Ribadeo, the chapel of San Román in Figueiras and that of San Miguel in Ribadeo, located at opposite ends of the estuary."
