Before the DANA, Picanya was connected by five footbridges that crossed the Poyo ravine. However, after the heavy floods, only one was left standing.
For the time being, it has not been possible to rebuild the other four footbridges that connected the two sides of the municipality, although a provisional “Mabey” style bridge, built by the Army together with the Military Emergency Unit, has been installed.
This type of bridges are temporary footbridges that are usually installed both in war zones and in natural disasters, as has happened in l’Horta Sud. They are used to temporarily replace civil bridges that, for one reason or another, have been destroyed.
With their opening, the aim is to be able to return, little by little, to normality and allow the mobility of the neighbors of the area that until now, a month after the catastrophe, could only cross by a bridge from one side to the other of the municipality.
