Viaducto Avellaneda, Road bridge in Rosario, Argentina.
The Avellaneda Viaduct is a concrete bridge spanning about 1220 meters above the Bartolomé Mitre Railway yard, connecting the city's northern and central districts. The structure was built to handle traffic movement between these areas and accommodate vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles.
Construction of the viaduct took place between 1968 and 1972, following agreements among the Municipality of Rosario, Argentine Railways, and the Santa Fe provincial government. The project arose from the need to create a new connection between separated areas of the city.
The viaduct is named after Emigdio Pinasco, a former president of the Rosario Engineers Association who contributed to the city's development. This naming choice reflects how infrastructure projects often honor figures from local industry and urban planning.
The viaduct is accessible daily for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, directly connecting two key urban areas. The crossing is well-maintained and particularly pleasant to experience during daylight hours or fair weather.
Before the viaduct was built, only two connections existed between the northern and central parts of the city: the Celedonio Escalada passage and the Alberdi crossing. This structure fundamentally transformed how people could move across the city.
