The infrastructure, which spans the Ter River, has become operational after months of work that began in September and focused on assembling the structure on reinforced concrete pillars. This new pathway connects the Ter valley with the Llémena valley, a long-standing demand from residents of both municipalities.
With a final budget of 1.8 million euros, the footbridge is designed for bicycles and pedestrians and integrates into the Ecovies de Girona itinerary network. It replaces the old provisional bridge destroyed by the Glòria storm in 2020.
The footbridge is approximately 135 meters long and 1.80 meters wide, built over 6.70 meters above the riverbed to minimize risks. The total cost of the project, awarded to the company Targsa, has seen increases since its initial proposal in 2014 due to rising material costs, such as steel. A significant portion of the funding, 738,986 euros, comes from the European Next Generation funds.
Additionally, the municipality of Bescanó has recently opened the Cua del Peix footbridge, which improves the continuity of the route along the Ter River bank.
