Puente Vicente Huidobro, Metal truss bridge in Recoleta, Chile.
The Vicente Huidobro Bridge spans across the Mapocho River, connecting the Santiago and Recoleta districts near Parque Forestal.
The metal structure, built by Schneider and Co. Creusot Constructors, was relocated to its current position in 1984 using curved lattice beams from France.
The bridge received National Historic Monument status in 1997 and transformed into Teatro del Puente in 1998, creating a performance space above the river.
The structure includes glass walls and accommodates 200 people, with regular theater performances, workshops, exhibitions, and book launches throughout the year.
Teatro del Puente operates as the only theater constructed over a river, combining performance spaces with panoramic views of the surrounding environment.
