The proposed Laguna Garzón Bridge between Rocha and Maldonado in Uruguay. Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly to calm traffic and minimise the impact on the sensitive ecosystem of the lake beneath, it’s described as a ‘lagoon within a lagoon, observatory, tourist attraction and fishing spot’.

The bridge will replace an existing, seasonally hazardous two-car raft connecting the counties.

    It looks cool, and I get what it’s going for, but I can’t help thinking that building one straight bridge would have less environmental impact than essentially building two, much longer bridges that have way more supports in the water?
