The Baluarte Bridge (Puente Baluarte), officially the Baluarte Bicentennial Bridge (Puente Baluarte Bicentenario), is a cable-stayed bridge in Mexico. It is located between the municipalities of Concordia in Sinaloa and Pueblo Nuevo in Durango, along the Durango–Mazatlán highway. The bridge has a total length of 1,124 m (3,688 ft), with a central cable-stayed span of 520 m (1,710 ft). With the road deck at 403 m (1,322 ft) above the valley below, the Baluarte Bridge is the highest cable-stayed bridge in the world, and the second-highest bridge overall. Construction of the bridge began in 2008 and it was inaugurated in January 2012. It is expected to be open to traffic later in 2012. The bridge forms part of a new highway linking the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of northern Mexico and will greatly reduce the travelling time between Durango and Mazatlán.
