Puente Los Carros, Pedestrian bridge in Santiago, Chile.
The metal bridge stretches across the Mapocho River, connecting the Vega Central market area with the Mercado Central district in Santiago.
Built in 1889 as a double-track railway bridge with a pedestrian walkway, the structure was later converted for exclusive foot traffic.
The bridge connects two major market areas, making it central to the commercial exchange and daily movement of merchants in Santiago.
The bridge opens in the morning and closes two hours before midnight, providing a safe crossing point for hundreds of pedestrians each day.
The structure follows the Whipple truss design, representing an early example of metal bridge engineering in Chile's infrastructure development.
