Puente Matías Ramón Mella, Transportation bridge in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The Matías Ramón Mella Bridge extends across the Ozama River with four lanes connecting Santo Domingo with San Cristóbal province.
The bridge opened in 1972 and received an expansion in the 1990s with the construction of a twin structure to increase traffic capacity.
The bridge bears the name of Matías Ramón Mella, who initiated the Dominican independence by firing the historic shot on February 27, 1844.
More than 239 vehicles cross this bridge daily, making it a central transportation route managed by the Dominican Public Works Department.
The structure forms part of a series of bridges along the Ozama River, positioned between the Duarte Bridge downstream and Floating Bridge upstream.
