Puente Matute Remus, Cable-stayed bridge in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Puente Matute Remus is a cable-stayed bridge at the junction of Lázaro Cárdenas and López Mateos avenues in Guadalajara. Its two inclined pylon legs rise above the roadway, one lit white and pale green, the other magenta, with stay cables fanning from their tops. The deck runs between them, and a linear park and sports unit occupy the space below.

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.

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.

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.

It is the only cable-stayed bridge that does not cross a body of water; it spans the Lázaro Cárdenas road at its junction with López Mateos avenue. The architects Miguel Echauri and Álvaro Morales, of Metroarquitectura, kept the cabling hidden and designed the lighting to change colour and intensity, revealing the linear park, the roadway and the elevated deck in sequence.
