How much did Assut de l'Or Bridge cost to build?
The Assut de l'Or Bridge is a cable-stayed crossing of Valencia's former Turia riverbed beside the City of Arts and Sciences. Santiago Calatrava designed its backward-leaning steel pylon and central plane of 29 stays. The bridge opened on 11 December 2008. Reporting on the Valencian public auditor's accounts distinguishes EUR 59.9 million for bridge works and design/supervision fees from EUR 63.2 million in total project costs including other charges. Valencia's city government describes a pylon rising 117 metres above the deck and a main clear opening of about 150 metres; these are different measurement bases from the unsourced 125-metre total height and 155-metre span previously recorded in Wikidata.
