Showcasing a modern design by Alberto L. Gonzales, Buenos Aires Women's Bridge spears the Argentinean sky.

The bridge was erected in 2001 and was made from parts that were built in Spain and then imported to Buenos Aires over a period of 5 months.

It is primarily accessed by foot as a pedestrian walkway, and is divided into three different parts.

Two of the parts are immobile, while the middle section rotates in a right angle to allow passing boats through.
