Juan Pablo II Bridge, Road bridge in Concepción, Chile.
The Juan Pablo II Bridge stretches 2,310 meters across the Biobío River, connecting Concepción and Talcahuano with San Pedro de la Paz through 70 segments.
The bridge, designed by English company E.W.H. Gifford & Partners, opened in 1974 and received significant repairs after the 2010 earthquake damaged its structure.
Originally known as Puente Nuevo, the bridge received its current name following Pope John Paul II's visit to Concepción during the 1980s.
The structure features five traffic lanes, with three heading north and two south, plus two pedestrian corridors measuring 1.6 meters in width.
The Juan Pablo II Bridge holds the distinction of being the longest bridge in Chile, measuring 7,580 feet in total length.
