Puente de Fierro, Railway bridge museum in San Cristóbal Ecatepec, Mexico.
The metal structure spans 60 meters in length and rises 15 meters high, weighing over 90 tons with two substantial iron bridges.
Engineers constructed this railway bridge in 1870 as part of the Valley of Mexico drainage system to prevent flooding in Mexico City.
The structure transformed into Museo Puente de Arte in 2000, offering contemporary art exhibitions and various cultural activities under Manuel Bueno Herrera's direction.
Located at the intersection of Via Morelos and Primero de Mayo Avenue in San Juan Alcahuacan district, the museum presents educational programs about transportation history.
Recent restoration work in 2020 revealed that contrary to previous beliefs, the bridge was likely manufactured in Mexico during the early twentieth century.
