Pedro de Valdivia Bridge, Arch bridge in Valdivia, Chile.
The Pedro de Valdivia Bridge extends across the Valdivia River, connecting the downtown area with Isla Teja through its concrete arch structure.
The bridge, inaugurated in 1954, stands as a testament to engineering excellence by withstanding the magnitude 9.5 Great Chilean Earthquake of 1960.
The structure bears the name of Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valdivia, who established the city of Valdivia during the colonial period.
The bridge provides essential access between Valdivia's city center and the Austral University of Chile campus located on Isla Teja.
During the aftermath of the 1960 earthquake, the bridge remained functional while enduring the subsequent Riñihuazo flooding that affected the region.
