The pedestrian and cycling footbridge connecting Sueca and Fortaleny has been recognized as one of the best public works heritage projects during the II World Congress on Public Works Heritage, held at the Santa Bárbara Castle in Alicante.

This infrastructure, promoted by the Roads area of the Provincial Council of Valencia, received the award for its outstanding territorial integration, functionality, and technical value. The recognition was presented within the framework of an international meeting organized by the College of Civil Engineers, which brings together experts and entities from the sector.
“

"This recognition highlights a way of doing public works that goes beyond engineering, because we are talking about infrastructures designed to improve people's lives and strengthen the connection between municipalities."

Vicent Mompó · President of the Provincial Council of Valencia
The president of the Provincial Council, Vicent Mompó, accompanied by the Roads deputy, Reme Mazzolari, and the technical team, was responsible for collecting the award. Mompó emphasized that the footbridge between Sueca and Fortaleny responds to a real need of the territory, demonstrating that it is possible to act with demanding technical criteria without sacrificing landscape integration and respect for the environment.
Furthermore, the president highlighted the work of the technical team of the Roads Area, considering the award a recognition of their rigorous and committed work. He made a special mention of deputy Reme Mazzolari for her leadership and commitment to a more humane and safer provincial network. Mompó also stressed the international projection of this award, which strengthens the position of the Provincial Council of Valencia as an administration capable of promoting innovative projects aligned with current challenges of sustainable mobility.
The footbridge, operational since last summer, was conceived to overcome the barrier of the A-38 highway, facilitating pedestrian and cyclist traffic. Its design includes a large central metallic arch that ensures safety and efficiency, minimizing impact. This action is part of a broader program that included the rehabilitation of the Alfonso XIII bridge over the Xúquer River and will be complemented by the execution of the final section of the itinerary between Fortaleny and Sueca, whose works began last February.
