The Roman bridge of Lugo crosses the Minho river in Lugo, Galicia. The bridge is of Roman origin and has been rebuilt many times in its history.[1]
The bridge was open to traffic until 2012. It was then closed to all vehicles and converted to a pedestrian-only footbridge. The roadway and modern superstructure was replaced with contemporary stonework to complement the bridge's original features.
