Puente Internacional Bella Unión - Barra do Quaraí, International road bridge at Brazil-Uruguay border
The concrete bridge spans 670 meters across the Quarai River, connecting Bella Union in Uruguay with Barra do Quarai in Brazil.
The construction of this international bridge in 1976 established a permanent vehicular connection between Brazil and Uruguay at this strategic crossing point.
The bridge functions as a meeting point between Brazilian and Uruguayan communities, enabling daily interactions between residents of both border towns.
Vehicles can cross the bridge without paying tolls, accessing Brazil through BR 472 highway and Uruguay through Route 3 at kilometer 636.
A railway bridge from 1915 stands adjacent to the road bridge, marking the historical evolution of transportation methods at this border crossing.
