The company El Transbordador de Vizcaya S.L. holds the administrative concession to commercially operate the bridge-shuttle, popularly known as the Puente Colgante (Hanging Bridge) and officially the Puente Vizcaya (Vizcaya Bridge) between the Vizcaya towns of Portugalete and Getxo, situated on opposite banks at the mouth of the Nervi\u00f3n river.
The company was constituted on 21 December 1995 on the call and subsequent award of the corresponding public tender, and has since then operated the shuttle service between both sides of the river without interruption, which is currently its main source of revenue.
In recent years, the company \u2013 without reducing the service and optimising the transport, which is the reason behind the Hanging Bridge\u2014 has also known how to innovate by diversifying its activities and boosting the tourism aspects (tours, merchandising, etc.) linked in part to the Bridge\u2019s attraction as a unique piece of engineering and, on the other hand, its conditions as a World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO in 2006.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen the company took over the concession in 1995 it was aware of the need to make significant investment in order to renovate and update both the Bridge\u2019s structural aspects (replacing the gondola) and the operating systems (opening and closing, berthing, speed, air-conditioning, access controls), and as regards its functionality. Hence, without failing to comply with the original essential mission of a shuttle, it is also a touristic attraction which can be commercially operated (opening the pedestrian walkway).\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These changes were officially inaugurated in July 1999, with the presence Their Royal Highnesses the King and Queen of Spain, and received new lighting in December of that same year to substitute the previous lighting system from 1991.<\/p>

In 2002 the Bridge received the Europa Nostra prize given by the European Union Culture Department for its work in recovering and conserving European Cultural Heritage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Como ya ha mencionado, la adjudicaci\u00f3n en 1996 del concurso de explotaci\u00f3n<\/strong> supuso un punto de inflexi\u00f3n en el compromiso de puesta en valor de esta obra singular y majestuosa, teniendo como l\u00ednea estrat\u00e9gica de actuaci\u00f3n las tres siguientes ideas b\u00e1sicas<\/strong>:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
