The Montolivet Bridge (Valencian: Pont de Montolivet, Spanish: Puente de Monteolivete)[a] is a road bridge in the southeast part of the city of Valencia that crosses the dry Túria riverbed and the western half of the City of Arts and Sciences. To the north, the bridge ends at the Roundabout of Europe, one of the largest in the city, while to the south it intersects the Saler motorway.
It is a unique bridge in the city because it consists of two clearly different bridge segments: the older straight bridge,[1] which crosses only the northern half of the dry riverbed, and the newer curved bridge,[2] which continues the bridge across an artificial reflecting pond to the southern shore. It was upon the construction of the City of Arts and Sciences in the riverbed that the south bridge segment was built. The two-segment bridge was inaugurated in 2007.
