Puente Las Cucharas, Railway bridge in Viña del Mar, Chile.

Located between Viña del Mar and Quilpué, the Las Cucharas Bridge spans 175 meters across the Marga Marga estuary at a height of 19 meters.

French companies Casa Schnider and Compañía del Creusot constructed this steel railway bridge between 1908 and 1913, replacing an earlier structure from 1856.

The Las Cucharas Bridge represents a significant example of early 20th-century Chilean railway engineering, connecting the port city to inland communities.

The bridge contains two railway tracks and two 15-meter lateral sections that rest on masonry abutments with 12-meter arches.

During its construction, rail traffic continued uninterrupted as the new bridge was built alongside the existing structure.
