Puente Quillota

The Quillota Bridge spans 90 meters across the Marga Marga estuary, connecting the Vergara Population on the north bank with the southern extension of Quillota Street.

Inaugurated in 1908 under Mayor Juan Magalhaes, this structure marked Chile's first implementation of reinforced concrete construction techniques by the Dutch Concrete Works Company.

The bridge received its name from the road leading to Quillota city, replacing its original designation as the Viña del Mar Bridge.

This infrastructure serves exclusively north-to-south vehicular traffic, providing an essential connection for residents and visitors traveling between the northern and southern sectors.

The construction process introduced reinforced concrete engineering methods to Chile, establishing new standards for infrastructure development in the country.
