Pumarejo Bridge, an Icon of Barranquilla

In the tenth installment of our series on Sacyr’s 40th anniversary, we travel to Barranquilla (Colombia), where Natalia Ramos and David Ordín help us look back on the construction of the Pumarejo Bridge, one of the most iconic infrastructure projects in our history.

Measuring 3.2 kilometers long and 38 meters wide, the Pumarejo Bridge is the widest cable-stayed bridge in Latin America. Its construction posed a significant technical challenge and required the use of innovative solutions, such as a large-scale self-climbing formwork system, which enabled the structure to be built while maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and efficiency.

Spanning the Magdalena River, this structure has become a symbol of Barranquilla and the Colombian Caribbean, improving mobility and connectivity while contributing to the region’s economic development.

The Pumarejo Bridge is a testament to engineering, but also to the talent, innovation, and commitment of our professionals. It is a project that reflects our ability to tackle major challenges and build infrastructure that connects regions, creates opportunities, and leaves a lasting legacy.

Four decades after our founding, we continue to celebrate the projects and, above all, the people who have made these 40 years of Sacyr possible.
