Cuscatlán Bridge, Suspension bridge over Lempa River, El Salvador.
The Cuscatlán Bridge stretches across the Lempa River with a main span of 820 feet, connecting the departments of San Vicente and Usulután.
The bridge, inaugurated in 1942 during President Maximiliano Hernández Martínez administration, was destroyed in 1984 during the Salvadoran Civil War and reconstructed in 1998.
The reconstruction of the Cuscatlán Bridge after the civil war represents the determination of Salvadorans to rebuild vital infrastructure for their nation.
The bridge serves as a critical link in the Pan-American Highway, facilitating transportation and commerce between different regions of El Salvador.
Engineers designed the bridge with specific vibration periods below 0.5 seconds to protect the structure against seismic activities common in the region.
