President Guillermo Billinghurst Bridge

The steel structure spans across the Madre de Dios River, connecting Puerto Maldonado with remote areas of southeastern Peru through Route 30C.

The bridge, constructed in 2011, replaced an unreliable river transport system that had been the only means of crossing the Madre de Dios River.

The bridge bears the name of Guillermo Billinghurst, who served as President of Peru and implemented modernization programs in the early 20th century.

The structure facilitates daily transportation between communities, supporting the movement of goods and people across the Madre de Dios region.

Engineers designed the bridge with specific materials to withstand the environmental conditions of the Amazon region while maintaining year-round accessibility.
