Atanasio Girardot International Bridge, International footbridge at Colombia-Venezuela border.

The Atanasio Girardot International Bridge spans 280 meters across the Táchira River with six traffic lanes and pedestrian paths connecting both nations.

Following its construction completion in 2016, the bridge remained closed due to political tensions until its official opening on January 1st, 2023.

The bridge opening ceremony brought together officials from both nations, marking a renewed commitment to bilateral relations between Colombia and Venezuela.

Travelers crossing the bridge must present vehicle documentation, valid insurance coverage, and proper identification documents for border control inspection.

The concrete structure features a 42-meter width, making it the largest border crossing point between Colombia and Venezuela in the Norte de Santander region.
