Suspension Bridges Crossing Rio De La Plata

This is a list of the only bridge from the suspension bridge inventory crossing Rio De La Plata. Please note that different rivers with the same name will be grouped together. For example, selecting 'Bear Creek' shows bridges across several different Bear Creeks. Also, similarly named rivers are grouped separately. For example, 'River Dee' (UK) bridges are grouped separately from 'Dee River' (Australia) bridges. Wherever you see a Bridgemeister ID number click it to isolate the bridge on its own page.

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."
