Description
Architect: Marcial Candioti
Engineer: Marcial Candioti
• Total length: 295,40 m
• Span lengths: 73,9 m - 147,7 m - 73,9 m
• Deck width: 10 m
• Pylons steel section height (not including bases): 35,3 m
One of its pylons collapsed in 1983, as a result of one of the largest and most violent floods in local history. This caused the destruction of most of the structure. However, a reconstruction and restoration process was carried out, which began in 2000 and concluded in 2002.
The collapsed pylon was replaced by a new one with similar characteristics, while as many original parts as possible were recovered to achieve the original appearance (including an obsolete pipe with no current use).
