The Constitution of 1812 Bridge, also known as La Pepa Bridge (El puente de la Constitución de 1812 or Puente de La Pepa in Spanish), is a new bridge across the Bay of Cadiz, linking Cadiz with Puerto Real in mainland Spain. Cadiz's first bridge, the Carranza bridge, was inaugurated in 1969, and is now crossed by some 40,000 vehicles per day. In 1982 the Spanish government accepted the need for a second bridge. It has two 180 m pylons, one in the sea and the other in Cabezuelas Harbour, a 540-meter span and 69 meters of vertical clearance. The bridge also includes a 150-meter removal span. It is the second bridge that crosses over to Cádiz from the mainland, after Carranza bridge, and one of the highest bridges in Europe, with a gauge of 69 meters and a total length of 5 kilometers. It is the third access to the city, along with the isthmus San Fernando and the Carranza bridge. Given the large width of the deck, it will be a high capacity bridge: a motorway with two lanes in each direction and two lanes reserved for metropolitan public transport such as the Cádiz Bay tram-train. The bill was drafted by the civil engineer Javier Manterola. The works were scheduled for completion in 2012, coinciding with the bicentenary of the Spanish Constitution of 1812, which was drafted in Cádiz. However, due to cuts in public works resulting from the economic crisis at the time, the work was more than three years late. By summer 2013 work had progressed but at a slower pace. As of early 2014 work progressed at a good pace, highlighting the installation of its cable-stayed span and the hiring of more daily staff (including night shifts). As of the first half of 2015, the bridge structure was completed, with full completion in September of the same year. As data highlights: The earlier draft described an arch bridge whose total length was 2.355 km. The total length of the current project, viaducts and links is 5 kilometers: 3096 meters on the bridge of which 1655 meters will be over the sea, with a main span of 540 meters record of Spain, with one hundred meters more than the bridge engineer Carlos Fernández Casado, the famous civil engineer, the reservoir Barrios de Luna. Besides the vain is the third largest in Europe suspended class, after Rio-Antirio
