Cautín railway bridge, Railway bridge between Temuco and Padre Las Casas, Chile
The Cautin railway bridge extends 423 meters across the Cautin River, connecting the cities of Temuco and Padre Las Casas through 11 structural spans.
Engineer Gustave Verniory designed the bridge in 1895, with metallic structures manufactured by Schneider-Creusot in France and construction completed in November 1898.
The bridge represents a vital transportation link in southern Chile's railway network, connecting communities and facilitating regional development since the 19th century.
The structure underwent reconstruction in 2020 with an investment of 13.4 billion Chilean pesos to ensure continued railway operations between the two cities.
During construction in 1896, workers installed metal pillars in challenging river conditions while using a temporary bridge to maintain railway operations.
