Nicolás Avellaneda Bridge, Liftable transport bridge in La Boca, Argentina.
The Avellaneda Bridge extends 1650 meters across the Riachuelo River with a central section that rises 57 meters above the water level.
Construction of this steel structure occurred between 1937 and 1940, connecting Buenos Aires city with the province through two traffic lanes.
The bridge joins the neighborhood of La Boca, known for its Italian heritage, with the industrial district of Avellaneda across the river.
The bridge includes mechanical and fixed staircases for pedestrian access, while its lifting mechanism provides 43 meters of clearance for river vessels.
This structure remains the only liftable bridge in the world equipped with a transporter gondola, originally designed for horse-drawn wagon crossings.
