General Norzagaray Bridge
General Norzagaray Bridge, Road bridge in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
General Norzagaray Bridge spans 120 meters across Frailes Creek with eight barrel vault sections made of brick and masonry construction.
Engineers Manuel Sanchez-Nunez y Layne and Gustavo Steinacher completed this infrastructure project in 1855 for 45,346 pesos during Spanish colonial rule.
The bridge stands as an exemplar of Spanish 19th-century masonry arch technology and received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
The structure carries Puerto Rico Highway 873 between the neighborhoods of Caimito and Tortugo, maintaining its role in regional transportation.
The bridge underwent modifications in 1927 when workers replaced earth fill with steel girders and added a concrete deck while preserving its historical elements.
