Pont Nou de Manresa
Highlight • Bridge
Until the construction of the Pont Nou, there was only one bridge over the Cardener river on the edge of the city of Manresa, which became known as Pont Vell. Due to the growing economic and commercial weight of the city, and its situation as a communications node within the road network of Central Catalonia, the construction of a new bridge must have been considered important. In this way, Lleida's rural road would be provided with a stable crossing over the river. On March 1312, King James the Fair granted the city of Manresa the construction of a new bridge.
In 1939 the retreating republican army blew up three of its arches, which were redone in 1940. During 2015, rehabilitation and structural reinforcement works were carried out on part of the bridge, and in 2022 they finished the restoration work on the other side.
