Puente Mercosur, Bridge in Bolívar, Venezuela

The Mercosur Bridge spans 11,125 meters across the Orinoco River, connecting Caicara del Orinoco with Cabruta through a double-deck structure for vehicles and trains.

Construction of this infrastructure project began in 2006 under the Venezuelan government, with Brazilian company Odebrecht leading the development of this major transportation link.

The bridge represents a significant collaboration between Venezuela and Brazil, strengthening regional integration and commercial exchange between both South American nations.

The structure features four traffic lanes and two diamond-shaped towers reaching 145 meters in height, facilitating transportation between central and southern Venezuela.

This engineering project includes 1,237 foundation piles extending up to 90 meters deep, making it the second-largest bridge structure in Latin America.
