Facts and practical information

El Puente de la Pólvora was a metallic bridge with stone abutments spanning the Segura River. The structure was completed with five stone arches on the left side of the bridge designed to span the river flood plain. Built between 1870 and 1877 in the vicinity of Javalí Viejo and Alcantarilla, in the Región de Murcia, the bridge was designed by the civil engineers Manuel Pardo Sánchez-Salvador and José Caunedo Sánchez. Both structures were built by Pedro Díaz Sánchez y Francisco Peña y Baquero respectively. ()
