History
It was finished in 2003 and has been controversial even before its completion because the river it crosses is dry almost all year long, and the cost of building this 4 lane cable-stayed bridge would be the same as for building a 6 lane conventional bridge. Frequently it was argued that the costly bridge would aid a relative few, versus spending the money for the rapid transit system of Metrorrey.
