In ‘The Crown’ season 4 Charles and Diana pass across the bridge in a luxurious car on their visit to the Australian city of Darwin. A panoramic view of the bridge also serves to illustrate the plane journey made by the Prince and Princess of Wales between Darwin and Adelaide.
The iron bridge over the Guadiaro is a typical bowstring construction, developed in Spain, mainly for road bridges, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It consists of four sections of equal length with parabolic metal beams supported on stone pillars.
It was opened to traffic in 1929, and remained in service, without any serious alterations until 1969, when, with the inauguration of the San Enrique bridge, it ceased to be part of the N-340. Work on the course of the Guadiaro meant that the original configuration of the bridge could be retained and it remains in a good state of conservation.
