Juan Pablo II Bridge: Difference between revisions

When it was finished in 1974, this bridge had not ano name, but it was called by people as "Puente Nuevo" (The New Bridge), because it was the second bridge across the Bio-Bio River after "Puente Viejo" (Old Bridge), actually closed to the cars traffic. In 1987, [[Pope John Paul II]] visited Chile and Concepción, and the bridge, as a tribute, was named "Juan Pablo II" (John Paul II).
