Manati Bridge at Mata de Platano

The Manati Bridge at Mata de Platano is a one-lane steel bridge from 1905, spanning the Rio Grande de Manati near Ciales. It is a small stop, but a worthwhile one for anyone tracing Puerto Rico's older road infrastructure through the central hills.

The bridge pairs naturally with other short stops around Ciales rather than as a long standalone detour.
