Old Plata Bridge, Road bridge between Bayamón and Naranjito, Puerto Rico
The bridge spans 42 meters over Rio La Plata, featuring two Parker truss spans supported by substantial masonry buttresses reaching 12 meters in height.
The American Bridge Company manufactured the steel trusses in 1908 for $13,228, while Jose Lago constructed the masonry supports for $9,000.
The bridge represents the last remaining large multi-span truss bridge in Puerto Rico and received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
The structure connected mountain towns to the coastal road along Puerto Rico's north coast until its collapse on August 28, 2017.
The bridge construction formed part of Puerto Rico's first public works bond issue, which raised $1 million for infrastructure improvements in 1908.
