The Puente Blanco (English: White Bridge) is a historic railway bridge that spans hundred and fifty feet deep and thirty six metres wide gorge across the Quebrada Mala Canyon, near Quebradillas, Puerto Rico. The bridge is the only reinforced concrete bridge in the area and the highest of its kind in Puerto Rico. It was built in 1922 by the American Railroad Company to replace a 1907 steel bridge as part of the construction of the national railway system that connected the island during the first half of the twentieth century. It was built on a concrete platform that held the existing steel bridge without interrupting the passage of the railway. The new bridge could hold two locomotives of 84 tons each. It was designed by Etienne Totti from Yauco who was the head engineer for the company. T

Fue diseñado por el ingeniero Etienne Totti, de la , para sustituir el puente de acero que salvaba ese tramo desde 1907 por encontrarse este en malas condiciones. Era parte de la línea principal del Ferrocarril de Circunvalación de Puerto Rico, encontrándose inmediatamente anterior al túnel de Guajataca en sentido descendente. Se utilizó para su construcción un sistema de plataformas que permitió desarmar el puente anterior y construir el nuevo sin interrumpir el paso de los trenes. El nuevo puente, construido a un costo de $18,000 sostenía el paso de dos locomotoras de 84 toneladas cada una. (es)

Su uso ferroviario llegó a su fin en 1957, con el cierre del ferrocarril de circunvalación. Fue convertido a uso vial y remodelado en la década de los 1980's. En el año 2008 fue clausurado para su uso por vehículos de motor debido a las malas condiciones en las que se encuentra. (es)

The bridge was restored by the municipality of Quebradillas, unfortunately as part of the repair the base was widened altering the character of the structure and hindering the view of the bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. (en)
