This bridge crosses the Orinoco river at Ciudad Bolivar, the largest city on the river.
The Orinoco river system is one of the largest in South America, originating along the southern borders of Venezuela and Brazil, in the state of Amazonas. The exact length of the river is still undetermined, with estimates between 1,500 to 1,700 mi (2,410-2,735 km) long, making it among the world's largest river systems.
