The Vizcaya Bridge (Bizkaiko Zubia in Basque and Puente de Vizcaya in Spanish) is the first and therefore oldest transporter bridge in the world. It was constructed in 1893 and is still in use today. The bridge connects the towns of Portugalete and Getxo near Bilbao in the Basque Country of northern Spain, crossing the mouth of the Nervion River.
