Mezcala Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Guerrero, Mexico
Description
The Mezcala Bridge is a cable-stayed road bridge crossing the Balsas River in Guerrero, connecting mountainous and coastal regions. It spans 911 meters and is supported by three concrete towers with 140 cables arranged in fan patterns.
History
Construction began in 1989 as part of Mexico's national highway development program. The project significantly shortened the travel route between mountain regions and the coast.
Culture
The bridge marks kilometer 221 of the Autopista del Sol, connecting the mountainous regions of Morelos state with the coastal areas of Guerrero.

The center tower rises 173 meters and ranks among the tallest bridge towers in Latin America. This remarkable height makes the structure a visible landmark across the region.
