Simón Bolívar International Bridge

The Simón Bolívar International Bridge (Spanish: Puente Internacional Simón Bolívar) is a 300-metre-long (980 ft) bridge across the Táchira River on the Venezuela–Colombia border, connecting the city of San Antonio del Tachira in Venezuela with the small town of La Parada in Colombia.

In 2015, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro closed the bridge to vehicular traffic.
