Baluarte Bridge between Durango and Mazatlan

After many years of construction, the bridge is now open greatly reducing the time to drive between these two cities. The Mazatlán-Durango highway has 61 tunnels with a total length of 19.4 km (11.6 mi.) and 115 bridges, having a total length of 12.5 kilometers (7.5 miles), one of which is the Baluarte Bridge, one of the highest cable-stayed bridges and longest in the world, with 124 meters (406.8 feet) length and 390 meters (1,280 feet) high, and the second longest tunnel in the country.

Here is a link to a video of the drive across the bridge apparently shot with a "dash cam arrangement":

And another video of the very first base jumpers:

Here are pictures of the bridge under construction.   Beyond belief.

Building the bridge

We drove the Devil's Backbone from Mazatlán to Durango and back many years ago. Bit of an adventure. Love to see the new highway and bridge.
