Puente Matute Remus, Cable-stayed bridge in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Description
Puente Matute Remus is a cable-stayed bridge in Guadalajara that spans approximately 980 meters across Lazaro Cardenas Avenue with 96 steel cables supporting three traffic lanes. The structure includes pedestrian walkways and a skate park beneath its main sections.
History
Construction of this bridge started in September 2009 and finished in 2011, designed by architects Miguel Echauri and Alvaro Morales. It was built to reduce traffic congestion on major roads in the city.
Culture
The bridge takes its name from Jorge Matute Remus, an engineer who relocated a telephone building 12 meters in 1950 while keeping services running. His name honors technical problem-solving in the city.
Practical
The best time to visit is in the evening when LED lights illuminate the structure in changing colors. Pedestrians can use the dedicated walkways, and there are recreational spaces below the bridge worth exploring.
Did you know?
Beneath the bridge lies not just a skate park but also garden areas that have become a social gathering spot for different activities. This dual use of the space has developed into an important leisure destination for locals.
