General Belgrano Bridge

The General Belgrano Bridge stretches 1,700 meters across the Paraná River, connecting the cities of Corrientes and Resistencia through two traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways.

Construction of the bridge began in 1968 and reached completion in 1973, establishing the first permanent connection between Corrientes and Chaco provinces over the Paraná River.

The bridge emerged as a symbol of regional development in northeastern Argentina, linking two distinct provincial capitals and their communities across the Paraná River.

Two A-shaped towers rise 83 meters high to support the bridge structure, which maintains a height of 35 meters above the water to allow ship traffic underneath.

The bridge stands near the meeting point of the Paraná and Paraguay rivers, featuring three main spans measuring 163.5, 245, and 163.5 meters respectively.
