The Llaguno Overpass (Puente Llaguno in Spanish), also known as the Llaguno Bridge, is a bridge in central Caracas, Venezuela, near the Miraflores Palace, made infamous by the events of 11 April 2002, when a shootout took place between the and the pro-government Bolivarian Circles, also known as El Silencio Massacre, causing 19 deaths and 127 injured people. The events preceded the 2002 Venezuelan coup attempt. The military high command refused Hugo Chávez's order to implement the Plan Ávila as a response to the protests, a military contingency plan by the army to maintain public order last used in 1989 during The Caracazo, and demanded him to resign. President Chávez was subsequently arrested by the military. Chávez's request for asylum in Cuba was denied, and he was ordered to be tried

- Los sucesos de Puente Llaguno, también conocidos como la Masacre de El Silencio, es un término acuñado por los medios de comunicación venezolanos haciendo referencia a los hechos ocurridos en el centro de Caracas durante una marcha multitudinaria hacia el Palacio de Miraflores, un precedente del golpe de Estado del 11 de abril de 2002 en Venezuela. Como resultado perdieron la vida diecinueve ciudadanos venezolanos, entre opositores y simpatizantes de Hugo Chávez. El Puente Llaguno es el nombre de un paso vehicular elevado de la Avenida Urdaneta, situado a unos doscientos metros del Palacio de Miraflores, que recorre perpendicularmente sobre la Avenida Baralt, en el centro de Caracas. El puente recibe su nombre de don Felipe de Llaguno y Larrea, un distinguido vecino de Caracas del siglo XVIII. El puente es el punto de tres esquinas de parroquias vecinas de la ciudad de Caracas: La Pastora hacia el noroeste, Altagracia hacia el noreste, Catedral hacia el sur. El puente pasa sobre la Avenida Baralt a cuatro cuadras desde el inicio de la Avenida Urdaneta partiendo de la Avenida Sucre. Por los sucesos de 2002, el Puente Llaguno fue declarado Patrimonio Cultural de Venezuela el 9 de abril de 2012. (es)
