This bridge was to be provisional, in principle, due to the needs of the traffic while the Bridge of the Exhibition and the Alameda subway station were being built. It was definitely left. It was inaugurated in 2002 and its flowers are constantly renewed.
This bridge communicated the city with the Camí de la Mar (current Avda. Del Puerto), hence its name. It was built during the years 1592-1596. During the Republic, the ramps were replaced by stairs (according to a project by Javier Goerlich) and communication with the port began to be made through the Aragón bridge.
Together with the Serranos bridge, pedestrianized in 2012, they are the two pedestrian bridges that the city of Valencia has.
In 1596 it was agreed to install a casilicio with several saints, which was destroyed by lightning in 1709. It was rebuilt and in its place was placed only an image of the Virgin of the Forsaken in 1721, the work of Francisco Vergara el Mayor. In 1677 another casilicio with the image of San Pascual Bailón had already been placed. The flood of 1776 damaged the two casilicios and it was necessary to repair the image of San Pascual Bailón and build another new image of the Virgin of the Helpless.
In 1936 the two images of the houses are destroyed, and again two new sculptures are built in the 40s of the 20th century.
