Zárate-Brazo Largo Bridge
Zárate-Brazo Largo Bridge, Road-rail bridge in Entre Ríos, Argentina
The Zárate-Brazo Largo complex includes two cable-stayed bridges spanning 555 meters across the Paraná de las Palmas and Paraná Guazú rivers.
The bridge complex, inaugurated on December 14, 1977, received its official name 'Complejo Unión Nacional' in 1995, connecting Zárate city with Brazo Largo.
The two bridges, named after General Bartolomé Mitre and Justo José de Urquiza, received National Historic Site designation in 2008.
The bridge structure accommodates both automotive traffic on National Route 12 and railway tracks of the General Urquiza Railroad system.
During November 1996, the bridge underwent emergency repairs when a tension cable anchor broke, leading to temporary restrictions for both rail and vehicle traffic.
