ABSTRACT
The bridge over the mouth of Villa Elisa channel, in the city of Punta Lara (Ensenada district, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) was built during the 70’s decade, has a “beam bridge” structure and is located on the margin of Río de La Plata. It is subjected to intense traffic along with weather factors like storms and river flooding. Therefore, its maintenance status is assessed after 50 years in service (Figure 1).
