The Porvenir Bridge is 214 meters long and 21.8 meters wide. Images show the inside span may have been extended in length from the original plan view.
The 4 other high beam spans on the route include Boquerón, Magdalena, Porvenir and Guaitara Bridges. Although not as high, the Sapuyes Bridge is also large with a main span of 100 meters.
