Victorino de la Plaza Bridge, Road bridge in Barracas district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Victorino de la Plaza Bridge is a metal truss bridge with a lower deck and two fixed side spans plus a central Scherzer double-bascule movable span. It crosses the Riachuelo at km 5.768 of the canal axis, linking Avenida Vélez Sársfield in Barracas, Buenos Aires, with Piñeyro in Avellaneda. Its roadway is 12 m wide, with two 1.72 m sidewalks.

Construction was authorised by National Law 4301, published in the Boletín Oficial on 13 February 1904. The contractor The American Cement Construction had its contract rescinded, and the work passed to Hopkins y Gardom. The bridge opened on 1 March 1916 and is named after Victorino de la Plaza, president of Argentina from 1914 to 1916.

The bridge is named after Victorino de la Plaza, president of Argentina from 1914 to 1916, the year the crossing opened. Its other name, Puente Vélez Sársfield, comes from the avenue it carries on the Buenos Aires side, in Barracas. Five bus lines (20, 37, 45 and 79) still run across it between the city and Piñeyro, in Avellaneda.

The bridge carries Avenida Vélez Sársfield from Barracas over the Riachuelo to Piñeyro, Avellaneda. Because of corrosion in the metal structure, trucks and high-sided vehicles are barred; only light vehicles and bus lines 20, 37, 45 and 79 cross. Pedestrians use the two side walkways, each 1.72 m wide.

The central span is a Scherzer double-bascule movable section, one of the engineering details visitors can spot between the two fixed side spans. The bridge carries five bus lines (20, 37, 45 and 79) but is closed to trucks because of corrosion in its metal structure.
