Puente ferroviario Carmen de Patagones - Viedma, Railway and road bridge in Carmen de Patagones, Argentina.
The steel bridge spans 268 meters across the Rio Negro, connecting the cities of Carmen de Patagones and Viedma with both railway and road passages.
Construction of the bridge started in 1927 by German companies Dyckerhoff & Widmann and Gutehoffnungshütte, with completion and inauguration in December 1931.
The bridge received recognition at the 1935 World Engineering Exhibition in Oberhausen, Germany, as one of South America's five most significant bridges.
Following extensive renovations in 2013, the bridge includes a dedicated pathway for pedestrians and cyclists alongside the main railway and road sections.
The central pillar contains a concealed explosive mechanism, installed as a security measure due to its German engineering origins.
