Amolanas Viaduct, Steel bridge on Route 5 North near La Serena, Chile.
The Amolanas Viaduct spans across a deep ravine with a height of 100.6 meters, making it the highest road bridge in Chile.
The first Amolanas Viaduct was constructed in the 1950s by Fermandois and Martinez company, while a second structure was added in the late 1990s.
