About La Barra: The Lionel Viera Bridge, also known as the Puente de la Barra and Maldonado Bridge, is a stressed ribbon bridge linking the cities of Punta del Este and La Barra across the Maldonado River es in southern Uruguay. The bridge is a landmark of both the local beach communities and of Uruguay. A man by the last name Martínez, the first owner of the La Barra hotel, La Posta del Cangrejo, convinced the then Uruguayan president Eduardo Víctor Haedo to build a bridge linking that town with Punta del Este. Historically, there has been two bridges built at the same crossing of the Maldonado River which each failed due to natural disasters. The bridge was designed by builder Leonel Viera es (1913–1975), who had no previous experience in architecture or civil engineering. Viera pioneered the construction sequence now typical for concrete segment bridges of this type. After placement of the principal cables, precast concrete tiles were placed to form the initial structure. // El Puente Leonel Viera, popularmente conocido como Puente de La Barra o Puente ondulante, es un puente carretero uruguayo que cruza el arroyo Maldonado, permitiendo de este modo la comunicación entre las ciudades balnearias de La Barra y Punta del Este. El objetivo de este puente fue reducir la velocidad.
