It is a metal bridge, 25.9 meters long which crosses over the Culebrinas River. The bridge rails are built in a warren truss style with steel posts.

Because the bridge was used for the transport of sugarcane, it was built large enough for truck access. It was built by the Central Coloso, a sugarcane mill for its railway transport system of sugarcane harvest. The bridge allowed access to nearby Guanábano and Espinar barrios in Aguada, and Pueblo in Moca.

gollark: Nope! Tau dropped that ages ago.
gollark: Interesting fact: there is a dedicated PotatOS backup bunker in case of all life on the surface of the overworld being wiped out. It's a solid sphere of bedrock buried in some location somewhere with storage, dedicated melon machines, a trilaterator, and a copy of the potatOS DSK.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: After the Guardian Incident potatOS does not have EZCopy™ enabled on SC, even though that was caused by a bizarre CC race condition or something.
gollark: That's the official line, anyway, yes.
