Notes
  • Significance: Puente del Caño Perdomo (Bridge No. 54) is a two-lane, 4-span, 46.8-meter long and 8.03-meter wide steel beam bridge. Its ornamentation consists of balustrades and exposed aggregate art deco geometric features delineated by moldings. Originally, it had cast iron decorative lamp posts, but they have been gone for decades. This structure was finished in 1927 as the western end of a very important highway project, the Variante de Arecibo, which for the first time successfully carried a highway across the delta of the Rio Grande de Arecibo. The channel called Caño Perdome is part of this delta. The Variante project, which solved important engineering problems of foundations and flooding, was designed by Rafael Nones, Puerto Rico's most prolific bridge engineer, as a submersible causeway interrupted by five steel beam bridges and six smaller concrete box-culvert bridges. It connected the city of Arecibo and the western two thirds of Highway No. 2 with San Juan and the rest of the northern coast of Puerto Rico. This bridge is eligible for National Register listing according to Puerto Rico's State Historic Conservation Office.
