Rayitos de Sol Bridge (Spanish: Puente Rayitos de Sol) is a pedestrian bridge in the historic centre of Lima, Peru. It crosses the Rímac river, connecting the Vía de Evitamiento with the Alameda Chabuca Granda.
History
[edit | edit source]The bridge was inaugurated on November 7, 2006, and cost S/. two and a half million (US$ 780,000).[1][2] Then, a lighting system was installed, consisting of nearly 7,000 LED lights, placed on the 1,500 m of cable-stayed structures that support the bridge, at a cost of S/. 381,000.[3]
In 2011 it was reported that the bridge was oscillating. Flaws in the design were identified and the structure was reinforced. In March 2013 it was temporarily closed,[2] and the same thing happened in April 2017, coinciding in both cases with Holy Week.[4]
Overview
[edit | edit source]The bridge has an extension of over 216 m and is divided into two sections, one suspension and the other fixed. The hanging part, at one end, is anchored in the fixed section of the pedestrian bridge and attached to the concrete structure by forty steel cables.[1][2]
