Verrugas Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Lima Department, Peru
The Verrugas Bridge extends 175 meters across the Verrugas Canyon, reaching a height of 77 meters above the ground level.
The Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company completed the construction of the third iteration of this bridge in 1936, following two previous structures that collapsed.
The bridge represents a significant advancement in Peruvian railway infrastructure, enabling the operation of the Callao, Lima & Oroya Railway through mountainous terrain.
The steel truss design of the bridge combines structural efficiency with material economy, distributing loads through interconnected triangular components.
This bridge marks the location where three different structures have been built since 1873, each adapting to environmental challenges and engineering capabilities.
