The Roman bridge of Lugo crosses the Minho river in Lugo, Galicia. The bridg, which is a bridge of Roman origin, has been rebuilt many times in its history.
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 compliment the bridge's original features.
