The Rosario-Victoria Bridge, officially named Puente Nuestra Señora del Rosario, is a major road link in Argentina that spans the vast Paraná River. It connects the industrial hub of Rosario in Santa Fe province with the city of Victoria in Entre Ríos province. Opened on May 22, 2003, after five years of construction, the project replaced a time-consuming ferry service that was previously the only crossing option. The entire bridge complex covers a total distance of 59.4 kilometers, consisting of the main cable-stayed bridge and several viaducts crossing the marshy islands of the Paraná Delta. The main span stands 50 meters above the water level, ensuring that large ocean-going vessels can navigate freely to upstream river ports. This infrastructure is a critical component of the Mercosur bioceanic corridor, linking the Atlantic and Pacific regions through efficient road transport. Beyond its logistical utility, the bridge has become a regional icon, offering travelers a sweeping view of the intricate river system and the surrounding natural landscape.
