Puente Plateado

Puente Plateado is a steel bridge that crosses the Río Nazas and connects the cities of Torreón and Gómez Palacio. The structure allows both vehicle traffic and pedestrians to travel across the river daily.

The bridge opened in 1931 and marks a milestone in early infrastructure development between two states. It improved transportation connections between the two communities at that time.

The bridge serves as a local landmark that connects two communities and functions as a central reference point in daily life. People use it to move between Torreón and Gómez Palacio as part of their everyday routines.

The bridge is accessible around the clock and connects the two city centers directly. Visitors can cross it by car or on foot to move between either side.

The bridge was built using steel components that were advanced for its time, showing how local construction worked with modern techniques. This made the project a notable example of Mexican engineering capabilities during the early 1930s.
