  • Facebook - Puente Hamaca, Cidra PR - Gracias al Sr. Edgardo Sanchez. Many close-up images of the derelict bridge.
  • Flickr - Puente de hamaca. Photo of the bridge from 1961, posted in 2007. Translation of description: "In the Honduras neighborhood, the old hammock bridge is located. It was in use in the 1940s. It was repaired at a cost of $15,000.00. The communication between the Toíta neighborhoods of Cayey and Honduras, of Cidra, was established across this bridge. After the heavy rains of January 5, 1992, the bridge was out of use. The waters of the Río La Plata washed away half of it. Although it was incredible to many, the water level managed to reach to the bridge, collapsing part of it."
