Panoramic view in NW direction, downstream the Río Cauca. At the time of completion in 1895, this hybrid suspension/cable-stayed bridge had the longest span in South America and the third longest in the World. It connects Santa Fe with Olaya. At the time the image was taken, the bridge was closed for cars and trucks.
