Santa Rosa Bridge, Road bridge in Lima District, Peru.
Santa Rosa Bridge spans across the Rimac River, connecting the historic center of Lima with the neighboring Rimac District along Tacna Avenue.
The bridge, inaugurated on August 30, 1960, replaced an earlier wooden structure called Puente de Palo built by the Viceroy Marquis of Cañete.
The bridge received its name from the nearby Sanctuary of Saint Rose of Lima, the first saint of the Americas in Catholic tradition.
The structure functions as a primary transportation route for vehicles and pedestrians, linking multiple neighborhoods across the Lima metropolitan area.
Architect Ernesto Aramburú Menchaca designed this concrete bridge, which stands at the exact location where Lima's first permanent bridge once stood.
