Puente Bolognesi, Road bridge in Piura, Peru.

The Puente Bolognesi features a cable-stayed design with a 130-meter main span, four vehicle lanes, and two pedestrian walkways over the Piura River.

The original bridge from 1967 collapsed during the 1997-1998 El Niño floods, leading to its reconstruction between 2000 and 2001 with enhanced structural features.

A memorial monument stands at the bridge entrance to commemorate the twenty individuals who lost their lives during the 1998 bridge collapse.

The bridge connects the districts of Piura and Castilla through four traffic lanes, facilitating daily transportation across the Piura River.

The structure rests on four caissons extending over 20 meters deep into the Zapayal formation, eliminating the need for supports within the river.
