The unfinished bridge was part of a larger infrastructure project that was conceived in the late 1960s. Construction began in the early 1970s but ceased without any clear explanation in 1977. Its sudden end has given rise to urban legends that attempt to explain why construction stopped so abruptly. Over the years, there have been numerous attempts to finish the bridge, but all have failed for one reason or another. For now, the bridge will remain as it is, and will continue to be used as a parking lot, a backdrop for TV shows and fashion shoots.
