The Vizcaya Bridge that links Portugalete and Las Arenas in the Biscay province of Spain, crossing the Nervion River

---

It is the world's oldest transporter bridge and was built in 1893, designed by Alberto Palacio. It was the solution given by the engineer to the problem of connecting the two towns without disrupting the maritime traffic of the Port of Bilbao and without having to build a massive structure with long ramps.
