Puente del Ejército

About

The Army Bridge (Puente del Ejército) is a tied-arch bridge that crosses Rímac River in the limits of Rímac and San Martín de Porres districts of Lima, Peru. It joins Alfonso Ugarte Avenue to the south with Caquetá Avenue (former Pan-American Highway) to the north. It was inaugurated on December 31, 1936, under then president Óscar R. Benavides, and was later remodelled in the 1950s, under the presidency of Manuel A. Odría. Located next to the bridge is a velodrome, reopened in 2016.
