Zaha Hadid and Arup projected the Pavilion Bridge for the Zaragoza Expo 2008, one of the central features of the Zaragoza Exhibition in 2008. The theme of the concept was 'Water for Development'. It is an 'aesthetic and emotional' bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Ebro.

The Pavilion Bridge passes obliquely over the channel of the River Ebro, running very close to the Third Millennium Bridge. It is slightly curved in design and its gentle, flowing forms connect the axis of the intermodal station boulevard with the area of the conference hall within the expo site. Its cross-section is diamond-shaped, comprising four vaults that serve as structural elements and exhibition zones and cover a surface area of 7000m². The Pavilion Bridge had a budget of 25 million euro. It is projected to house a museum on technologies and water.
