Orinoco River Crossing is an overhead power line crossing for two 220 kV-circuits over Orinoco River near Morocure in Venezuela, west of Orinoquia Bridge. It consists of three pylons, from which one is placed on an island in Orinoco river. Each of the pylon is 240 meters tall and equipped with three crossbars for 6 conductors. The pinnacles of the pylons are V-shaped for carrying two ground conductors. According to all available information these pylons are today after the demolition of the OMEGA-tower in Trelew the tallest man-made structures in South America. The width of the both span fields are 2,537 and 2,161 meters.
