Barra de Santa Lucía Bridge
Barra de Santa Lucía Bridge, Swing bridge in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The Barra de Santa Lucía Bridge spans 776 meters across the Santa Lucía River with an 88-meter main span supported by steel-concrete composite structure.
Built in 1924, the bridge represents early 20th-century engineering innovations and received cultural heritage monument status from Uruguay in November 2017.
The bridge connects different communities along Route 1, serving as a central gathering location for residents of Montevideo and surrounding areas.
The rotating mechanism of the bridge allows maritime vessels to pass underneath while maintaining regular vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the Santa Lucía River.
The structure combines a steel-concrete composite deck with inclined struts and a single cell box girder, demonstrating advanced engineering techniques.
