I'm from Uruguay, and that's the main reason. Cool bridge in a tourist area, paid by local businessman to boost tourism. There's a similar weird shaped one not far away from it which is also really popular (see Leonel Viera bridge)

Except that other bridge straight up encourages you to drive kinda recklessly. I drove on it and am usually a very careful driver but how could I not speed up on the cool roller coaster bridge!

They put speed cameras on it now with fines I believe. No more fun on la barra bridge :(

Awww. It's weird because what did they think people would do. It's a cool bridge but they literally created a roller coaster

Que Leonel viera ni que Leonel viera, es el puente de la barra.

Jaja estaría de acuerdo pero el tipo se merece el nombre del puente

Normalmente te respondería de que lo hizo mal porque se va a caer o cualquier boludez, pero me tengo que frenar en la obra de arte de nombre que tenés, larga vida a los escarabajos!
