Paso de los Libres – Uruguaiana International Bridge

The 1,419-meter bridge spans across the Uruguay River, featuring separate lanes for vehicles and trains to cross between Argentina and Brazil.

Construction of this international connection began in 1942 during World War II and reached completion with its inauguration on October 15, 1945.

The bridge bears the names of two national leaders, Agustín P. Justo from Argentina and Getúlio Vargas from Brazil, representing bilateral cooperation.

The structure operates daily as a major border crossing point, processing international cargo trucks, passenger vehicles, and railway transport between both nations.

This cantilever design bridge stands as the primary transportation link in the region, handling both road and rail traffic over the Uruguay River.
