Chacao Channel bridge, Road and bicycle bridge in Calbuco, Chile.
The Chacao Channel Bridge extends 2.75 kilometers across the water, connecting the island of Chiloé to mainland Chile through four traffic lanes.
The construction project, initiated in 2015 by Hyundai Engineering and Systra, represents a major engineering milestone for South American infrastructure development.
The bridge development sparked discussions among local communities about preserving traditional transportation methods while embracing modern connectivity needs for the region.
The structure incorporates advanced seismic isolation systems and wind tunnel technology to maintain stability during natural events affecting the channel crossing.
This engineering marvel employs 23,000 tons of steel and 68,000 cubic meters of concrete to create South America's longest suspension bridge.
