Pedestrian bridge over V-31 in Sedaví passes tests and will connect lHorta Sud with Pinedo

The new pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the V-31 in Sedaví has passed load tests and will be operational this summer. This infrastructure will connect l’Horta Sud with Pinedo, eliminating a dangerous crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. With a width of 4.35 meters and accessible ramps, it will allow safe passage over a heavily trafficked highway, improving sustainable mobility in the metropolitan area of Valencia.

Load tests and technical design of the bridge 🏗️

The structure has undergone load tests with heavy vehicles to verify its strength and stability. The design includes a 4.35-meter-wide platform with gently sloping ramps that comply with universal accessibility regulations. Steel and prefabricated concrete materials have been used to ensure durability. The bridge spans the V-31 with a central clearance that allows safe passage for pedestrians and cyclists, separating them from vehicular traffic.

Goodbye to the risk of crossing the highway like a daredevil 🚴

Finally, the brave souls who sprinted across the V-31 between cars going 120 km/h can retire. Now it's time to enjoy a bridge with ramps that don't require being a parkour runner. Of course, we'll have to see how long the novelty lasts before some clever person decides to use it for balconing with their bike. In the meantime, eco-friendly mobility gains a point, and pedestrians, a sigh of relief.
