Puente de las Américas, Cable-stayed bridge in Ciudad de la Costa, Uruguay
The Americas Bridge spans 488 meters across the coastal area, connecting Ciudad de la Costa with Montevideo through a single pylon design.
The construction of this engineering structure began in 2001 and reached completion in 2005, marking a new phase in urban connectivity.
Spanish engineer Julio Martinez Calzon designed this modern bridge, incorporating elements that reflect Uruguay's commitment to infrastructure development.
The bridge handles over 25,000 vehicles daily, serving as a primary connection between Avenida de las Americas and Avenida Ingeniero Luis Giannattasio.
The structure rises 140 meters high and utilizes 30 steel cables to support its span, creating a distinct profile visible from Carrasco International Airport.
