Zacatal Bridge, Highway bridge in Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico.
The Zacatal Bridge extends 3,861 meters across the water, connecting the Atasta Peninsula with Carmen Island through Federal Highway 180.
President Carlos Salinas de Gortari inaugurated the bridge on November 24, 1994, marking a new era of connectivity for the Yucatan Peninsula.
The bridge changed the daily routines of local fishermen and traders, who previously relied on water transportation between Carmen Island and mainland Mexico.
The structure contains 121 precast concrete headers, 496 modified AASHTO type IV beams, and 8 box beams supporting two lanes of vehicular traffic.
The Zacatal Bridge stands as Mexico's longest bridge, incorporating 124 post-tensioned concrete slabs in its robust engineering design.
