The name 'Lo Passador' refers to the traditional ferry boat operators who historically transported people and cargo across the Ebro River before the bridge was built.
The bridge's design was selected through an architectural competition to provide a permanent crossing between the two banks.
It is a key segment of the Ebro Delta bike path network, connecting northern and southern delta cycling routes.
The bridge structure is illuminated at night with energy-efficient LED systems to improve safety and visibility for river navigation.
During construction, the bridge required significant deep-foundation engineering to anchor the structure into the soft, sediment-heavy soil of the Ebro Delta.
Lo Passador is a modern bridge spanning the Ebro River that connects the towns of Deltebre and Sant Jaume d'Enveja in the Ebro Delta. Officially named the Bridge of the Millennium, it serves as a critical infrastructure link that replaced the traditional ferry service, known as the 'passador'. The structure features a distinctive curved design, measuring 250 meters in length with a total span that facilitates both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. It is constructed primarily of steel and concrete, incorporating lighting elements that illuminate the deck at night. The bridge provides panoramic views of the river landscape and the surrounding flat agricultural plains of the delta. It functions as a focal point for local events and serves as an important transit point for cyclists exploring the Ebro Delta routes.

Walk or cycle across the bridge during sunset to photograph the river reflections.
Use the bridge as a starting point to explore the nearby rice paddies by bike.
Visit the viewing points at the bridge ends for clear views of the river's width.
Do not attempt to walk on the road portion of the bridge; stay strictly on the designated pedestrian pathways.
