The Puente de la Mujer - The Woman's Bridge is a footbridge in the Puerto Madero district of Buenos Aires. The bridge gets its name from the fact that most streets in Puerto Madero are named after prominent Argentine women. It has a cantilever spar cable stayed bridge style combined with a swing bridge style. The cables connect to a single mast from a portion of the bridge and the mast swings 90 degrees to allow water traffic to pass. Building in the background is the Ministry of Defence.
