Puente de Marquez, Historic bridge in Moreno Partido, Argentina.

The wooden bridge spans 27 meters across the Reconquista River, constructed with ñandubay timber to connect Villa Moron and Villa Lujan.

Built in 1773 by Pablo Marquez with authorization from Buenos Aires Cabildo, the bridge facilitated transportation during recurring floods in the region.

The bridge location served as a meeting point for sports activities and fishing during the 1930s and 1940s before environmental changes affected the area.

The original structure was replaced in 1964 with a concrete bridge, which was later demolished in 1997 during the construction of Autopista Acceso Oeste.

A significant battle between Unitarians and Federalists took place at the bridge in 1829, resulting in a victory for forces led by Juan Manuel de Rosas.
