Puente Ñipas, National monument bridge in Ñuble Region, Chile
The Puente Ñipas stretches 600 meters across the Itata River, connecting the communes of Ranquil and Portezuelo with 27 reinforced concrete spans.
Between 1921 and 1923, German engineers from the General Construction Company of Frankfurt constructed this bridge as part of the Rucapequén-Tomé railway branch.
The bridge represents a milestone in Chilean engineering, marking the introduction of reinforced concrete construction techniques for transportation infrastructure in the early 1900s.
The structure features a single railway track with two double-track sections measuring 24.88 meters long, dividing the bridge into three equal segments.
Twenty-seven spans of 22.40 meters each form the main structure, while two end spans measure exactly 20 meters, creating this precise architectural composition.
