Mezcala Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Guerrero, Mexico
The Mezcala Bridge spans 911 meters across the Balsas River, featuring three concrete towers and 140 cable stays arranged in fan patterns.
Construction of the bridge began in 1989 as part of Mexico's national highway program, reducing travel distance between Cuernavaca and Acapulco by 49 kilometers.
The bridge marks kilometer 221 of the Autopista del Sol, connecting the mountainous regions of Morelos state with the coastal areas of Guerrero.
Standing 160 meters above the river, this road bridge accommodates vehicle traffic with a 20-meter wide deck supported by steel beams and reinforced concrete.
The central tower rises 173 meters high, making it the second tallest bridge in Latin America and the 23rd highest worldwide.
