Puente Rayito de Sol, Pedestrian bridge in central Lima, Peru
The Puente Rayito de Sol stretches 216 meters across the Rimac River, featuring both suspension and fixed sections connected by forty steel cables.
The bridge opened on November 7, 2006, with an investment of 2.5 million soles, under the administration of Mayor Luis Castañeda Lossio.
The structure connects the Alameda Chabuca Granda cultural area with Via de Evitamiento, serving over 100,000 daily pedestrians in Lima's historic center.
The bridge includes accessibility ramps, metal railings, and a LED lighting system comprising 7,000 lights that illuminate the structure at night.
The bridge required structural reinforcement in 2011 due to oscillation issues, leading to the installation of seismic dampers in the main tower.
