List of bridges in Peru
This is a list of bridges and viaducts in Peru , including those for pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
Historical and architectural interest bridges
Major road and railway bridges
The modular suspension bridges have a great success in Peru, the type of bridge developed by the Austrian company Waagner-Biro has the advantage of being simple and quick to implement. These bridges can be made by locals or unskilled workers, the components are fixed and assembled on site, so no welding is required.[ 14] The company was in charge of building the longest suspension bridge in the country, the Continental Bridge (also known as the President Guillermo Billinghurst Bridge), the elements of which were delivered in 1981, but for political reasons the project did not resume until 2004 and the inauguration took place in 2011. This bridge is part of the Interoceanic Highway which provides a link between Brazil and Peru.[ 15] [ 16]
The company SIMA (Shipyard Marine Industrial Services ) specialized in shipbuilding , has an important activity in the construction of bridges in Peru, it has produced nearly 300 metal bridges across the country (2013).[ 17]
This table presents the structures with spans greater than 100 metres (330 ft) (non-exhaustive list).
