National Unity Bridge, Road bridge in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
The National Unity Bridge is a road bridge in Guayaquil, Ecuador, spanning across two rivers through multiple connected structures. Together these segments form a continuous transportation link that carries daily traffic over the waterways.
Construction of this transportation route began in the 1960s and was completed in the early 1970s to create a major road link across the rivers. The finished project improved access between different parts of the region.
The bridge system serves as a key passage linking coastal Guayaquil with inland regions and the highlands beyond. It shapes how residents and travelers move between the city and communities further inland.
The crossing is generally passable during daylight hours, though congestion can occur during rush times. Exercise caution in heavy rain and be ready for changing traffic conditions.
The structure actually comprises multiple parallel bridge segments connected by a road section that together create the full crossing. This design allows vehicle traffic to distribute across the different spans efficiently.
