2.2 Pumarejo Bridge, Barranquilla - Santa Marta,
Colombia
The central spans bridging the River Váh are formed
by a box girder of a variable depth, from 3 to 6m,
which were segmentally cast in symmetrical
cantilevers. The remaining spans have a double tee
cross section of a constant depth of 3m. These spans
were cast span-by-span on stationary or movable
scaffolding.

The Pumarejo Bridge will provide a comprehensive
solution for crossing the Magdalena River in
Barranquilla, enabling large vessels to pass as well as
increasing user convenience and improving traffic
conditions, particularly that of heavy vehicles
travelling in both directions. The bridge will also
further increase the safety and the level of service
provided to users of this busy road.
It will be the country's longest bridge (2,250m) and
the biggest public work project carried out in
Colombia. The cable-stayed bridge will span 380m
between the 132m high pylons. The deck will be
38.2m wide in the cable-stayed section and 35.1m
wide in the access sections. The deck will have three
lanes as well as a pedestrian area (2m) and bike path
(1.5m) on both sides. The clearance for the passage of
vessels will be 45m.
