Laureano Gómez bridge, Cable-stayed bridge over Magdalena River in Barranquilla, Colombia.
The Laureano Gómez Bridge spans 1536 meters across the Magdalena River with concrete pylons supporting steel cables that distribute the structural load.
Italian architect Riccardo Morandi designed this infrastructure project, which opened in 1974 as part of Colombia's modernization during the 1970s.
The structure carries the name of two figures: Laureano Gómez in official documents and Alberto Pumarejo in local usage among Barranquilla residents.
The bridge serves as a main transportation artery connecting Barranquilla with surrounding regions, handling substantial daily vehicle traffic across the Magdalena River.
The bridge construction required piles extending 30 meters below water level to support its massive concrete structure across the wide river passage.
