Carolina Bridge

About

The Carolina Bridge is a cable-stayed road structure located over the Torola River in the department of San Miguel, El Salvador. It is the second bridge of its kind built in the country and stands out for its modern architectural design. The project was financed with the Government of El Salvador's own funds, with a total investment of 12.6 million U.S. dollars, and is part of an infrastructure plan aimed at improving regional connectivity, boosting the local economy, and enhancing the quality of life for the residents of municipalities such as Carolina, San Antonio, San Luis de la Reina, and Torola. The bridge was inaugurated for public use on 12 August 2025 by El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele. He had also been present in February 2022, for the ceremonial start of construction.
