Nicolás Avellaneda Transporter Bridge
Nicolás Avellaneda Transporter Bridge, Transporter bridge in La Boca, Argentina.
The metal structure spans across Riachuelo River, connecting La Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires with Isla Maciel in Avellaneda through a suspended gondola.
Built by Ferrocarril del Sud railway company, the bridge opened in 1914 and transported up to 17,000 workers daily during its peak operational period.
The bridge structure appears in numerous paintings, photographs, and films, representing the industrial heritage of Buenos Aires waterfront district.
Following restoration works completed in 2017, the bridge now serves as a tourist attraction, offering visitors a view of the Riachuelo River area.
This engineering marvel stands as the only remaining transporter bridge in the Americas and one of eight such structures still existing worldwide.
