1 contributing structure.Also known as:
Coloso Bridge (Spanish: Puente de Coloso), also known as Bridge Number 1142, is located in Aguada on PR-418 at the 0.5-kilometer (0.31 mi) marking, between the Guanábano and Espinar barrios in Aguada.
It is a metal bridge, 25.9 meters (85 ft) long which crosses over the Culebrinas River. The bridge rails are built in a warren truss style with steel posts. Because the bridge was used for the transport of sugarcane, it was built large enough for truck access. It was built by the Central Coloso sugarcane mill for the railway transportation of the cane harvest. The bridge allowed access to nearby Guanábano and Espinar barrios in Aguada, and Moca.
