It was inaugurated in 2012 and at that time was the tallest suspension bridge in the world, with a height of 403 meters over the Baluarte River. Construction of the bridge began in 2008 and took approximately 4 years to complete. It was designed by the Italian engineer Riccardo Morandi and built by the Mexican company Tradeco. The bridge has a total length of 1,124 meters and connects the states of Durango and Sinaloa, significantly reducing travel time between the two regions.
