Puente Libertador, Road bridge spanning Rio Torbes in Táriba, Venezuela
The Libertador Bridge extends 172 meters across the Rio Torbes, connecting the municipalities of San Cristóbal and Cárdenas in Táchira State.
Constructed between 1928 and 1930 by French company G. Leinekugel le Cocq et Fils, the bridge opened on December 17, 1930, marking the centenary of Simón Bolívar's death.
The bridge represents a significant period in Venezuelan engineering advancement, combining French design with local construction expertise under Italian engineer Luis Ramozzi's supervision.
While no longer serving as the primary crossing since the highway construction, the bridge maintains its status as an emergency route between Táriba and San Cristóbal.
The structure features two 19-meter articulated towers supporting parabolic cables, with its metal components entirely prefabricated in France before assembly in Venezuela.
