Summary

Description

20170807_Bolivia_1322 The Marshal Antonio José de Sucre Suspension Bridge (Puente Colgante “Mariscal Antonio José de Sucre”) is a substantial pedestrians-only suspension bridge over the Pilcomayo River that we spot along Route 5 on our drive from Sucre to Potosí. Built at the end of the 19th century, the bridge was most recently repaired in 2008. The far side of the river (as the far tower indicates) is Chuquisaca Department while the near side is Potosí Department.

The bridge is named after Antonio José de Sucre who led as Grand Marshal in the decisive battle of Ayacucho in 1824 that consolidated the independence of Peru and Upper Peru (Alto Perú) which later became Bolivia. He was a close friend of Simón Bolívar and served as the second president of Bolivia from the end of 1825 to 1828.
