维斯盖亚桥横跨毕尔巴鄂西面的伊拜萨巴河口。这座桥由巴斯克建筑师阿尔贝托•德•帕拉西奥设计，于1893年完工。桥高45米，跨度160米，融合了19世纪的钢铁传统和当时新兴的螺纹钢筋轻质技术。维斯盖亚桥是世界上第一座供行人和车辆通过的高空拉索桥，欧洲、非洲和南、北美洲的很多大桥都是仿照该桥建造的，不过保存至今的为数不多。由于别出心裁地使用了螺纹钢筋轻质技术，比斯开桥被誉为工业革命时代最杰出的钢铁建筑之一。

Vizcaya Bridge straddles the mouth of the Ibaizabal estuary, west of Bilbao. It was designed by the Basque architect Alberto de Palacio and completed in 1893. The 45-m-high bridge with its span of 160 m, merges 19th-century ironworking traditions with the then new lightweight technology of twisted steel ropes. It was the first bridge in the world to carry people and traffic on a high suspended gondola and was used as a model for many similar bridges in Europe, Africa and the America only a few of which survive. With its innovative use of lightweight twisted steel cables, it is regarded as one of the outstanding architectural iron constructions of the Industrial Revolution.
