Puente Rodolfo Robles

The Puente Rodolfo Robles spans across the Suchiate River, connecting Ciudad Hidalgo in Mexico with Ciudad Tecún Umán in Guatemala through rail and road lanes.

The bridge emerged as a crucial transportation link in the early 20th century, strengthening the commercial relations between Mexico and Guatemala through enhanced border connectivity.

Named after the Guatemalan physician Rodolfo Robles, who identified Onchocerciasis, the bridge represents the shared medical and scientific heritage between both nations.

The structure maintains active customs and immigration checkpoints on both sides, processing commercial vehicles, passenger traffic, and railway cargo throughout operating hours.

The dual-purpose design accommodates both railway tracks and road lanes, enabling simultaneous passage of trains and vehicles between the two Central American countries.
