August 2007: Nicolas Avellaneda Bridge Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Nicolas Avellaneda Bridge in the La Boca barrio of Buenos Aires was named after a former president of Argentina. This bridge, built 1939-1940, replaced the still-standing transporter bridge nearby, just visible in part in the lower left image. (The full original transporter bridge, approved in 1908 and opened in 1914, is pictured on the Archive page. The two bridges are often called by the same name.) It spans the Riachuelo River between La Boca and Avellaneda.
