It is a cable-stayed bridge with an arch. It consists of a section with a span of 72 meters supported by powerful retaining walls. The platform is supported by two parallel tension arches 6.01 meters apart. The height of the arches is 8.90 m. The structure is reinforced by 32 vertical beams connected transversely and in the shape of a St. Andrew's cross. At its ends, the work rests on metal hinges that are embedded in the ashlar buttresses.

The iron bridge over the Júcar in Alzira is a bridge that connects the city center with the Barraques district.
The need for this bridge arose as a result of the flood of St. Charles Day in 1864. The General Directorate of Public Works of the State commissioned the project in 1899 to Enrique González Granda, but the work did not go to begin until 1911 and finalized in 1918.
It replaced the bridge of Sant Gregori, which had been built in the 14th century, which survived until 1921, and which was attributed to the fact that the town was flooded in case of floods.
It is a single arched bridge. It consists of a section of 72 meters of light supported by powerful retaining walls.
