It receives its name for being a bridge divided into seven sections, six of a type structure "cage" and one "open", is located in the Paso Mayor of the River Sauce Grande near the site of the same name.
Its construction was completed in 1908 and is part of the Rosario Puerto Belgrano Railroad, the same crosses from north to south, the south of the Santa Fe Province and all the west of the Buenos Aires Province, discarding the radial model towards the City of Buenos Aires that had all the British railways.
The support or bastion of each end are 266 meters each, each bastion has two wings.
Each one of the boards of each section rests on six pillars that are in what was the bed of the formerly mighty river.
Its parts should be accessible for inspection, cleaning, maintenance and repair.
Its sections should be symmetrical, just like its rivets.
The support system of the structure is separated from the masonry of the piles.
Systems of brackets, braces or cords are used, so that the water rejected by the batteries does not cause deterioration in its lower part.
Declaration of Historical Heritage
In 2010 the Deliberative Council of the Coronel Rosales Municipality declared it "Architectural, Historical and Cultural Heritage".
In 2012 it was declared a provincial historical heritage by the legislature of the Buenos Aires Province.
Despite being recently declared historical heritage, it was left without one of its sections, the one used by Ferro Expreso Pampeano (Fepsa) to replace it in place of the damaged one in the Province of Santa Fe that crossed on Route 18 south of Rosario.
The National Transportation Regulatory Commission demanded that Fepsa "refrain from carrying out any operation that is not authorized by the competent authority to change all or part of the bridge."
Days later, with the withdrawal of the already completed structure, the control body reiterated the request for restitution of the railway material before 30 days and threatened to initiate legal actions.

Khas Rajput (Devanagari: खस राजपूत) is a Rajput (warrior-ruler) community among Khas people.
The term is popularly denoted to Khas people who follow Hindu Kshatriya tradition in the Indian state of Uttarakhand.
It is used very less in Nepal and is replaced by the term  Kshetri.
They have been connected to the  Khasas mentioned in the ancient Hindu literature.
Historian Bal Krishna Sharma and Dor Bahadur Bista speculates that the Khas people were of Indo-European origin.
Historian Baburam Acharya speculates that Khas are a sub-clan of Aiḍa, an Arya clan originated at Idavritt (modern day Kashmir).
Khas were living in the Idavaritt in the 3rd millennium B.C.E. and the original meaning of the term Khas was Raja or Kshatriya (Yoddha).
He further speculates that Kashmir has been named from its local residents Khas as Khasmir.
In the 2nd millennium B.C.E., one group of Khas migrated towards Iran while the other group migrated east of Sutlej river settling only in the hill regions up to Bheri River.
Historian Balkrishna Pokhrel contends that Khas were not the Vedic Aryans but Aryans of latter period like the Gurjara, Darada, Shaka, Pallava and Pisacha.
He further asserts that post-Vedic Aryans were akin to Vedic Aryans in terms of language and culture.
Traditionally, the Khas people were divided into "Khas Brahmins" (also called Bahuns in Nepal) and "Khas Rajputs" (also called Chhetris in Nepal).
In Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand in India, the Khas Brahmins and Khas Rajputs had a lower social status than the other Brahmins and Rajputs.
However, in present-day western Nepal, and in Uttarakhand they had the same status as the other Brahmins and Rajputs, possibly as a result of their political power in the Khasa Malla kingdom.
Khas Rajputs in Kumaon region of Uttarakhand are historically accepted as army recruits for the hill Rajas.
In Uttarakhand, Gharwal region there are two general divisions of Rajputs -  Asal Rajput and Khas Rajput.
Asal Rajput are the immigrants of the lowlands of India while Khas Rajput are children of the local Khas population.. Now there is no such divisions

Vowel length is a feature in languages when how long a vowel is spoken in a word can create a completely different word.
Although this is a feature in many languages like Japanese, Arabic, Hawaiian, Classical Latin, and Thai, there are also many languages that do not have this feature.
An example of this would be the Japanese words chizu, which has a short vowel (a vowel spoken for a short time), and chīzu, which has a long vowel (a vowel spoken for a long time).
The only difference that can be heard is how long the vowel "I" is spoken.
The amount of time the vowel is spoken could create two entirely different words.
Chizu means "map", while chīzu "cheese".
When using IPA, the colon (:) is used to show that the vowel before it is a long vowel.
For example, chizu in IPA is written as /t͡ɕizɯ/, but chīzu is written as /t͡ɕi:zɯ/.
While Old English had vowel lengthening, most modern dialects of English do not.
For example, the words God and good used to have the same vowel sound, but the vowel in good (/go:d/), which was a long vowel, was said longer than it was in God (/god/), which was a short vowel.
Although the vowel sounds in Modern English are very different than in Old English, readers can often get an idea of how vowels used to sound like based on an English word's spelling, which often shows words' historical roots rather than their current pronunciation.
Long vowels in Old English could be written with a bar on top of the vowel like in gōd (good).
Later, during the days of Middle English, spellings used to spell long vowels included spelling with two vowels together like in book or break and putting a silent "E" at the end of the word like in hate.
These vowels were all long vowels until the Great Vowel Shift in English, in which the vowel sounds in English changed to sound very differently from before.
Classical Latin had both vowel and consonant lengthening, and long vowels had a macron, or a straight horizontal line, written above them.
In Classical Latin, ānus (/ˈaː.nus/), annus (/ˈan.nus/), and anus (/ˈa.nus/) were all different words.
Ānus means "buttocks", annus means year, and anus means old woman.
Today, none of the Romance languages, the languages that are daughter languages of Latin, can distinguish words by vowel length, though Italian can distinguish words by consonant length: /anno/ "year", /ano/ "anus".
Italian also has vowel lengthening in accented syllables ending in a vowel, but vowel length cannot make the difference between two words as it could in Latin.
The Great Vowel Shift is a sound change in the English language when all the long vowel sounds in English changed.
This took place from the late Middle English period to the Early Modern English period.
This is the main reason why English words often sound different from how they are spelled.
A sound change in a language is when the sounds of the language become different overtime.
Since people of different languages or dialects often talk to each other, the way people talk becomes more like the way the others talk.
Because of this, it is natural for languages to sound differently overtime.
Sometimes it happens slowly, while in other times it happens quickly.
An example of a sound change in English is the Great Vowel Shift, when all of the long vowel sounds in Middle English changed into what they are today.
This is why the way English is spelled is so differently from how it is spoken.
Spelling systems that do not change with the sound changes of a language are often more difficult for a learner to learn how to read in that language.
These kinds of spellings are called fossilized spellings.
These include spelling systems like English, French, Mongolian script, and Thai.
All of these spelling systems have changed little for the past few hundred years, even though their spoken languages sound very different from how they used to sound.
Spelling systems that change with the sound changes are often easier for a  learner to learn how to read.
These languages include Japanese, Turkish, and German.
Another much smaller sound shift in many dialects of English is the cot-caught merger, where words with lower back vowels like in cot and caught sound exactly the same to native speakers of certain English dialects and are spoken without any difference between the two sounds.
Mongolian script was the first writing system to be used to write the Mongolian language.
It is similar to the Arabic alphabet in that it is a cursive writing system, or a writing system where all the letters in a word always touch each other and change depending on if the letter is at the beginning, middle, or end of a word.
It is a vertically written system, meaning that it is written top-to-bottom, and it is the only vertical writing system to be read left-to-right (all other vertical systems, like Chinese and Korean, are left-to-right).
It is one of the two writing systems used to write the Mongolian language, alongside Cyrillic, in the independent country of Mongolia (which is sometimes called Outer Mongolia to distinguish it from Inner Mongolia) and the only writing system used to write the language in the Chinese autonomous region of Inner Mongolia.
Unlike Arabic, and Old Uyghur, the Traditional Mongolian script and it's variants are an abugida and brahmic script.
It is also used to write several other Mongolic and Tungustic languages such as Buryat, Kalmyk, Oirat, Manchu, and Xibe.
It is believed that the reason why Mongolian script is vertical is so that it could easily be written on the neck of a horse, which horses were a very important part of Mongolian culture.
In the year 1208, Genghis Khan captured a Uighur scribe named Tatar-Tonga and forced him to make the alphabet of his native language, the Old Uyghr alphabet, be used to write the Mongolian language.
It did not fit the Mongolian language well, and it was difficult to learn even for native Mongolian speakers.
In 1941, a few decades after Mongolia became a communist state, the Cyrillic alphabet replaced Mongolian script likely due to influence from their communist ally, the Soviet Union.
After the fall of communism,  Mongolia made Mongolian script official alongside Cyrillic to revive Mongolian culture.
However, Cyrillic is still more common due to the lack of education in Mongolian writing, the lack of money to support it, and the difficulty of typing Mongolian on a computer.
Also, more Mongolians can read Cyrillic than Mongolian script.
In Inner Mongolia, on the other hand, most ethnic Mongols do not know Cyrillic and can only read Mongolian in the Mongolian script.
Autonomous regions of China are areas with very large numbers of ethnic minorities living in them.
Their local government is similar to a province, but unlike provinces, minority languages are often co-official alongside the Chinese language, and some laws are written to meet the needs of the minority groups.
China's five autonomous regions are the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Tibet Autonomous Region, the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (East Turkestan), and the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
Their shortened names are Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Ningxia respectively.
The largest minority group in each region are the Zhuang, the Mongol, the Tibetan, the Uighur, and the Hui people respectively.
The Manchu language is a Tungustic language and it was the native language of the Manchu people before and during the Qing dynasty.
The Manchus are the ethnic minority in China that overthrew the Ming dynasty in 1644 and took over the country.
When they ruled, they formed the Qing dynasty.
Manchu uses a version of the Mongolian script that was changed to better suit the language.
For the first 200 years, it was the official language in the courts, although commoners still spoke Chinese.
However, during the mid-1800s, it became more common for the Manchu nobles to speak Chinese as their first language.
As a matter of fact, China's last emperor, Aisin Gioro Puyi, knew very little Manchu and spoke Chinese as his first language.
Nonetheless, Manchu was still written alongside Chinese in official documents until the end of Imperial China.
Even though China today has 10 million Manchus, only 20 people speak Manchu today.
This makes Manchu a critically endangered language.
Almost all Manchus today speak Mandarin Chinese as their first language.
Early Modern English is the period of the English language when both the written and the spoken English language begins to be familiar to English speakers today, or speakers of Modern English.
That is the period in which William Shakespeare wrote his plays.
What sets Early Modern English apart from Middle English is the Great Vowel Shift, when all long vowel sounds changed to their current sounds.
