  • The Bosch Bridge is a bascule bridge in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that connects the Algarrobo street in Barracas neighborhood with the Barrio Piñeyro of Avellaneda Partido, crossing over Matanza River (popularly known as Riachuelo). The bridge carries vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic between both points. The bridge extends parallel to the General Roca Railway rail tracks between Hipólito Yrigoyen and Darío Santillán y Maximiliano Kosteki stations. Its structure is made of iron and was inaugurated on July 30, 1908. On July 12, 1930, at 6:05 am, an electric tram going to Lanús fell into the Riachuelo river after the driver ran straight without seeing the red light warning about the leaf raised due to the thick fog. 56 of a total of 60 passengers died, most of them working class people going to their jobs. The tramway accident was mentioned on Sherlock Time, a comic strip by writer Héctor Oesterheld and artist Alberto Breccia published in Hora Cero magazine. In the story, a group of relatives of the victims joined to recreate the accident and then sue the tram company. Nevertheless, Sherlock Time rescued them alive after realising it was a trap from a group of aliens to capture them. In 2001 the Bosch Bridge was closed because of its deterioration. The bridge was then refurbished by the Public Works Ministry of the City of Buenos Aires, which took charge of its maintenance. The bridge was re-opened to the public in June 2008, with height and weight restrictions for the vehicles (4.10 m and 12 tons respectively). Works had a cost of A$ 3,2 million. In September 2015 there was a proposal to adapt the Bosch Bridge for pedestrian use exclusively. The project was named "Puente de las Mariposas" ("Butterflies Bridge"), connecting the Design Metropolitan Center of Barracas with the Faculty of Environmental Sciences of Avellaneda. (en)
  • El puente Bosch es un puente balanceador que cruza el Riachuelo, uniendo el barrio de Barracas, Comuna 4 de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires con la localidad de Piñeyro, Partido de Avellaneda de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Corre junto a las vías del ferrocarril General Roca entre las estaciones Hipólito Yrigoyen y Darío Santillán y Maximiliano Kosteki. Este puente metálico levadizo fue inaugurado el 30 de julio de 1908.​ La historia del Bosch lo deja pegado a una tragedia: a las 6:05 del 12 de julio de 1930, un coche del tranvía 105 siguió su marcha cuando el puente estaba levantado para permitir el paso de un barco y el tranvía cayó a las aguas del Riachuelo. Murieron 56 de los 60 pasajeros que transportaba el tranvía. En su mayoría eran obreros de Gerli, La Mosca y Piñeyro que se dirigían a su trabajo. (Ver Accidente tranviario del Riachuelo) En el año 2001 se clausuró este puente debido al deterioro que presentaba. Luego fue reacondicionado, puesto en valor y mantenido por el Ministerio de Planeamiento y Obras Públicas de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. El 5 de junio de 2008 se habilitó al tránsito automotor, con restricciones de altura (4,1 m) y peso (12 toneladas).​ (es)
