The third highest bridge on the Tuxpan-Mexico City highway now under construction, the Puente Zoquita will cross a deep gully along the upper edges of the San Marcos River valley. The prestressed concrete beam bridge will be located just 3 miles (5 kms) south of the gigantic San Marcos river bridge with its towering 656 foot (200 mtr) piers. Nearby Puente Sin Nombre will also be high at 351 feet (107 mtr). An arrow on the above map shows the location of the bridge at kilometer 158.
