Puente Urubamba-Cusco, Road bridge over Vilcanota River in Urubamba, Peru.

The Urubamba-Cusco Bridge spans 75 meters with a double upper metal arch folded toward the interior of the cross section.

The bridge was reconstructed and opened in January 2020 after the previous structure collapsed in 2012 due to a heavy truck passage.

The bridge connects the Sacred Valley regions, enabling access between Cusco, Pisac, and Ollantaytambo, important centers of Incan heritage.

Located at kilometer 59 of highway PE-28F, the structure includes two traffic lanes and pedestrian paths in both directions.

The bridge uses crossed pendulums in a network configuration to distribute forces between the deck and the arch system.
