Passerelle Pérez Velasco, Pedestrian bridge in Central District, La Paz, Bolivia.
The Pérez Velasco footbridge spans across Ismael Montes Avenue, connecting Evaristo Valle, Comercio, and Pichincha streets in downtown La Paz.
The bridge opened on November 11, 2007, as part of an urban renewal initiative to address the growing congestion between La Paz and El Alto.
The bridge serves as a meeting point near Plaza Mayor de San Francisco and San Francisco Basilica, surrounded by tourist shops and commercial establishments.
The structure measures 4 meters in width and 5 meters in height, allowing pedestrians to cross safely above the heavy traffic below.
The construction sparked discussions about urban development due to its modern design placement within the traditional colonial center of La Paz.
