| Description |
|
The precise name of this bridge
is the Christ of the Expiration Bridge, a
name it derives from its proximity to the
Capilla del Patrocinio, a church from
which the Brotherhood procession of Christ
of the Expiration comes on Good
Friday. The Christ statue that they
process is popularly known as the "Cristo
del Cacharro". Since Cacharro
literally translates a "Puppy" this bridge
is apparently known locally as the Puppy
Bridge. The bridge design is said to be based on the Alexander Bridge in Paris. As with other bridges in the area, it was built in time for the Expo in 1992. The walkways on the bridge have canvas awnings designed to provide pedestrians with some shade.          |
