Puente Huérfanos, Pedestrian bridge in Santiago, Chile
The Puente Huérfanos spans 109 meters across the Autopista Central and Line 2 of the Santiago Metro, connecting the historic center with Brazil district.
The bridge opened on November 18, 1997, under mayor Jaime Ravinet and Minister Ricardo Lagos, with a construction cost of 120 million Chilean pesos.
The structure extends from Calle Huérfanos, a street named after a former hospice that provided care for orphans during a cholera epidemic.
The four-meter-wide walkway rises 29 meters above ground level, offering pedestrians a direct route between Calle Tucapel Jiménez and Manuel Rodríguez poniente.
The bridge features a cable-stayed design by architect Roland Schulz, incorporating elevators at both ends intended for accessibility purposes.
