Baluarte Bridge

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The Baluarte Bridge (Puente Baluarte) officially the Baluarte Bicentennial Bridge (Puente Baluarte Bicentenario), is a suspension bridge. The bridge has total length of 1,124 m, with a central cable-stayed span of 520 m. With the road deck at 403 m above the valley below, the Baluarte Bridge is the highest cable-stayed bridge in the world, and the second-highest bridge overall. Construction of the bridge began in 2008 and it was inaugurated on January 05, 2012. The traffic is expected to be opened later in 2012. The bridge forms part of a new highway linking the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of northern Mexico and will greatly reduce the travelling time between Durango and Mazatlán. #Baluarte #Bicentenario #bridge #Puente #suspension #вантовый #мост #подвесной
