Nueva Imperial Railway Bridge, Historical railway bridge in Nueva Imperial, Chile
The metallic railway bridge spans across the Cholchol River, connecting the railroad line between Temuco and Carahue in southern Chile.
The French company Schneider and Creusot constructed the current metal bridge in 1909 after the original wooden structure from 1902 collapsed during its inauguration.
The bridge represents the industrial development of the Araucanía Region, where European engineering met the traditional Mapuche territories in the early 20th century.
Visitors can observe the bridge structure from multiple vantage points along the riverside paths that provide access to this national monument.
The bridge construction marked a turning point for Nueva Imperial, transforming it from an isolated settlement into a key transportation hub in southern Chile.
