Puente Rayito de Sol

Puente Rayito de Sol, Pedestrian bridge in central Lima, Peru

Puente Rayitos de Sol is a pedestrian bridge over the Rímac River in Lima, linking the Vía de Evitamiento with the Alameda Chabuca Granda. It is over 216 metres long and divided into two spans: a fixed section and, at one end, a suspension section anchored to the fixed part and held by forty steel cables attached to the concrete structure.

The bridge was built during Luis Castañeda Lossio's first term as mayor of Lima and inaugurated on 7 November 2006, days before the municipal elections in which he was re-elected. The work cost more than 2.5 million soles, about 780,000 dollars. A lighting system of some 7,000 LED lights was added later for 381,000 soles.

The bridge is named Rayitos de Sol, "little sunbeams", and its 7,000 LED lights on the 1,500 metres of cable-stayed structure were added after opening at a cost of 381,000 soles. It links the Vía de Evitamiento with the Alameda Chabuca Granda, a riverside promenade named after the Peruvian singer Chabuca Granda.

The bridge has two sections: a fixed span and a suspended end anchored by forty steel cables. It was closed temporarily in March 2013 and again in April 2017, both times during Holy Week, when pedestrian numbers peak; expect closures or crowding around that period.

The swaying reported in 2011 came from crowds of pedestrians, not wind, and officials acknowledged design flaws before reinforcing the structure. The bridge was then closed temporarily in March 2013 and again in April 2017, both times during Holy Week, when foot traffic peaks.
