Puente de la Reconquista

Puente de la Reconquista, Concrete bridge in Comuna 14, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Puente de la Reconquista was a vehicular bridge by architect Mario Roberto Álvarez, inaugurated in 1969 and demolished between 2018 and 2019. It measured 374 m long and 32 m wide, with three lanes each way, two 11 m access ramps and ten intermediate spans, reaching a maximum height of 7.68 m. It crossed Avenida Córdoba, Avenida Cnel. Niceto Vega and the Ferrocarril General San Martín tracks along Avenida Juan B. Justo, on the Palermo–Villa Crespo boundary.

The Puente de la Reconquista was inaugurated on 12 August 1969, the 163rd anniversary of the Reconquista of Buenos Aires, the 1806 victory of Santiago de Liniers over William Beresford's British troops. Designed by architect Mario Roberto Álvarez, it was demolished from October 2018 as part of the San Martín railway viaduct works; the last arch came down in April 2019.

The name recalls the Reconquista of Buenos Aires, whose 163rd anniversary fell on the bridge's inauguration day, 12 August 1969. It honoured Santiago de Liniers' troops, who retook the city from the British and captured General William Beresford in 1806. Since the 2018 demolition, the former crossings are at street level with traffic lights.

The bridge no longer exists: demolition began in October 2018 and the last arch over Avenida Niceto Vega was removed in early April 2019. The former crossings of Córdoba and Niceto Vega with Avenida Juan B. Justo are now at street level, controlled by traffic lights. Look for the viaduct of the San Martín railway line that replaced it.

The bridge no longer exists: demolition began in October 2018 and the last arch over Avenida Niceto Vega was removed in early April 2019. Much of its structure was used as landfill to gain land from the river for the expansion of Aeroparque Jorge Newbery.
