This work is part of a system of bridges that are located on the Lázaro Cárdenas road, at the junction with López Mateos avenue, one of the busiest in the city and that also crosses the 4 central municipalities of the Guadalajara metropolitan area.

The bridge is named in honor of civil engineer Jorge Matute Remus, known for the relocation of the Mexico Telephone building located on Avenida Juárez.

At the intersection of López Mateos and Lázaro Cárdenas avenues there was a serious problem of road continuity, due to the accumulation of more than 200 thousand vehicles per day waiting to be distributed to various points.

The decision to carry out the work required a multidisciplinary approach and analysis that evaluated the road, environmental, social, economic, urban, technical and technological impact.

The viaduct crosses the 4 central municipalities of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, begins at the height of the Zapotlanejo highway and ends on the free road to Nogales, having 25 overpasses and elevations.

Developing the project with a scheme of suspended bridge or cable-stayed proved the ability of designers, calculators, state government and local construction companies to renew visions and principles to tune them to the needs contemporary The only part of the structure that, for technical reasons, must be solid is that of the suspended section, because it is the only one that is hung and must support the work in a single body, however its shadow does not affect the wooded area, because below the street predominates.

The bridge is functional and avant-garde, with an advanced architectural design, it has a linear recreational park under its structure, a new sports unit and it gave recovery of spaces for the pedestrian facilitating its transport.

The work was planned in 6 stages: Since its original conception and due to the choice of materials such as steel and concrete combined, it was possible to produce almost everything in the workshop.

In Jalisco, civil organizations and citizen participation in general are increasingly aware of their incidence to change, prevent or channel government actions that they feel alien and harmful or their own and favorable.

The socialization process, undertaken at the initiative of the governor Emilio González Márquez to ensure the acceptance and approval of the Matute Remus Bridge by Jalisco, was a government action unprecedented in the state.
