The Pumarejo bridge (Spanish: Puente Pumarejo) is a bridge over the Río Magdalena in Barranquilla and the Salamanca Island Road Park in Sitionuevo, Colombia, which has connected the city with the east of the country since December 20th 2019.[1]
It replaces the old Puente Pumarejo, which fulfilled this task between 1974 and 2019, but for which a bridge with a clearance below of only 16 meters (52 ft) was chosen for cost reasons, which soon criticized as an obstacle for shipping on the Río Magdalena has been. The two lanes no longer did justice to the increased traffic. Since the bridge was nearing the end of its expected lifespan, the decision was made in 2006 to build a much larger new one.[2][3]
