Tampico Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Tampico Municipality, Mexico.
The Tampico Bridge extends 1,543 meters across the Panuco River, featuring four lanes and two pedestrian walkways supported by 110-meter-tall towers.
The bridge opened in October 1988, connecting the Mexican states of Tamaulipas and Veracruz through a vital transportation link across the Panuco River.
The structure received the International Alcantara Bridge Prize in 1989, surpassing 36 other projects from Spain and Portugal in recognition of Mexican engineering.
The bridge rises 55 meters above the Panuco River, allowing large vessels to pass underneath while providing essential road connectivity between regional communities.
The bridge combines an orthotropic steel deck girder in its central section with prestressed concrete girders, a design later referenced in France's Normandy Bridge.
