The Bach de Roda bridge was built as built as part of the revitalization of two poorer areas of Barcelona, Spain. Spurred on by the city's selection to host the 1992 Olympic Games, the bridge was one of the first stages of improvement for the Sant Andrea and San Marti areas of the city.
Along with this bridge, a new rail station was built; all part of a larger plan to improve the infrastructure of the entire city of Barcelona. As with many of Calatrava's bridges, this bridge serves both pedestrians and automobiles, giving access to parks below on either side.
To further accentuate the city, balconies allow pedestrians to stop along the bridge to enjoy a view of the city.
