Angostura Bridge

The Angostura Bridge, completed in 1967, is a significant structure spanning the Orinoco River in Venezuela. It connects the Guiana region with the rest of the country, facilitating transportation and economic activity. The bridge is located near Ciudad Bolívar, a port city that was once the site of the traditional designation of the Guayana region. The Orinoco River itself is a vital waterway, serving as a transportation route for both Indigenous peoples and modern commerce, including the shipment of iron ore from the Guiana Highlands. The Gulf of Venezuela is another important geographical feature, serving as a shipping route for the petroleum-producing Lake Maracaibo region.123
