Alfredo Zitarrosa Bridge, Modern bridge near Santiago Vázquez, Uruguay.
The bridge extends 778 meters across the Santa Lucía River, featuring 13 spans constructed with concrete and steel imported from Spain.
Construction began in 1999 but faced delays due to economic challenges before its completion and inauguration by President Tabaré Vázquez in 2005.
The bridge received its name through Law 18.709 in 2010, honoring Alfredo Zitarrosa, a significant figure in Uruguayan folk music.
The structure carries Route 1 - Manuel Oribe between Ciudad del Plata and Santiago Vázquez, serving as a critical transportation link for the region.
Located at coordinates 34°47'1.2"S and 56°21'21.8"W, this bridge replaced the Barra Bridge, which could no longer handle modern traffic demands.
