Circular bridge in Uruguay lets drivers slow down and enjoy the view

We often have come across various bridges, but this one is indeed creative. The year 2015 ended with the completion of a round bridge that took almost 12 months. Designed by Rafael Viñoly, the bridge stretches across Laguna Garzon between the cities of Rocha and Maldonado on the southern coast of Uruguay.

The bridge replaces a traditional raft crossing and also the view is worth enjoying.

“The concept of the Puente Laguna Garzon was to transform a traditional vehicular crossing into an event that reduces the speed of the cars, to provide an opportunity to enjoy panoramic views to an amazing landscape, and at the same time create a pedestrian place in the centre,” said Viñoly on BoredPanda.
