Pedro de Valdivia Bridge is an arch bridge spanning the Valdivia River. It connects downtown Valdivia with Teja Island, which houses the main campus of the Austral University of Chile.
Together with Río Cruces Bridge it allows connection from Valdivia to the coastal town Niebla.
Pedro de Valdivia Bridge is named in honour of the Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valdivia. It was ready for use in 1954 and survived the 1960 Valdivia earthquake, the greatest earthquake ever recorded,[1] while nearby buildings collapsed. After the earthquake it survived the effects of the Riñihuazo, a flooding caused by the earthquake.
