El puente San Miguel de Piura

On 12 April 1891, the road bridge fell, as a result of the rise of the Piura river, due to the phenomenon of El Niño. It was rebuilt in 1893 after C. T. Findlay and H. Rathbone showed Miguel Checa the designs of two bridges that were destined for Asia. In 1981, the structure collapsed again when a trailer tried to cross it from Castilla, and in 1991 it was rebuilt respecting its original design. However, on 12 March 1998, the Piura River exceeded the 1983 flow , and this bridge collapsed.[1]
