Yes this brings back less than happy memories. I came upon this sight (on my bike) and took a long hard look at it. Then I found (or was directed to) an over grown track the detoured around these steps. But I still had to climb up the other side - no detour this time. Note to cyclists - from Cirauqui follow the sealed road out of town (I think its sign-posted to Estella/Pamplona/Logrono) and turn onto the N111 (not the A12 - cyclists not permitted on autoways/motorways). Great photo!

Yes, we stopped to have a look, but then got back on the road. I agree it's easy to find yourself going down a slip road that leads to a motorway, and you have to be aware that this could all too easily happen. What we did find is that the N roads, if there was a motorway nearby, were always pretty empty of other traffic :).

I love that bridge! Real Roman and still standing - I last went over that with my two wheel trailer, no problems at all as I remember ... just after dawn, beautiful!

Hi! I came to this pic through facebook. I was there just today taking some pictures, and you can see that the stairs and roundabouts of the bridge in general have been remodelled recently:

I believe there is even now an access for bikers, both down to the bridge and up from the bridge, though it's still a bit tricky for a bike, I'm afraid...

Best wishes.
