Calle-Calle Bridge, Arch bridge in Valdivia, Chile.

The Calle-Calle Bridge spans across the river using reinforced concrete and steel to connect downtown Valdivia with the Las Animas residential area. Its structure is supported by multiple supports that create a substantial presence crossing the waterway.

The Calle-Calle Bridge was inaugurated on 21 February 1945, after several years of construction. It gave downtown Valdivia a fixed crossing to Las Animas and a direct route toward Pichoy airport and the Pan American Highway.

The bridge carries the name of the Calle-Calle River it crosses, the waterway that separates downtown Valdivia from the Las Animas residential area. Since its inauguration on 21 February 1945, it has been the road link between the city and the road to Pichoy airport and the Pan American Highway.

The bridge links downtown Valdivia with Las Animas and continues toward Pichoy airport and the Pan American Highway, so it is the main route out of the city in that direction. Crossings are shared with traffic, and the exposed river span gives little shelter from rain or wind.

The bridge was inaugurated on 21 February 1945, after several years of construction, so work had begun well before the end of the Second World War. It carries the road link from downtown Valdivia toward Pichoy airport and the Pan American Highway.
