Port is in dock 3 East Log peatonal bridge is the first work of the architect and Valencian engineer Santiago Calatrava that is constructed in Latin America. It has 160 meters in length and six of wide. Its metallic mast rises 39 meters. The bridge (of an approximated weight of 800 tons) is prepared to move whenever a boat needs to happen. Its traversing gear is one of greatest of the world, with 20 electrical motors in the main axis, that are commanded by computer. The work (donated to the city by an industralist) was made in Spain and it was transferred by parts to Buenos Aires in several boardings. The plastic profile of the work is interpreted by the author like the figure of a pair that dances tango, where the white mast represents the man and the curved silhouette of the bridge to the woman.
