Pont del Petroli

The Pont del Petroli is a jetty in Badalona built in 1879 for the unloading of petroleum products from tankers. It goes into the sea 250 meters and has a height of 4.5 meters. In 2009 the environment was remodelled, which no longer has industrial use and is a tourist attraction. The Pont del Petroli is a concrete structure consisting of a 235-meter access bridge finished with a 100-m² unloading platform and supported by metal pylons. The Bridge is made up of two T-shaped concrete beams joined together. The bridge is supported by 16 groups of pylons separated every 15 cm, three of the groups of pylons are in the sand of the beach and the rest of the water stuck 6 meters into the seabed.

In 2001 the intention to dismantle the jetty was announced, but a group of divers, photographers and other friends of the Oil Bridge, led by Josep Valls, mobilized to defend the conservation of this structure. In 2003 it became the property of the Badalona City Council and after different stages of restoration, it was opened to the public on June 13, 2009, enabled as a promenade that leads out to sea as a viewpoint. Three years later it was integrated with the rest of the promenade. At the entrance platform of the bridge, very close to the Anís del Mono factory, a sculpture by Susana Ruiz dedicated to the history of the factory was inaugurated.
