Tancredo Neves Bridge, International road bridge between Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil and Puerto Iguazu, Argentina
The Tancredo Neves Bridge spans 480 meters across the Iguazu River, featuring a main arch span of 220 meters and a concrete deck structure.
The bridge construction began in 1982 after Brazilian President Emilio Medici and Argentine President Alejandro Lanusse signed an intention treaty, completing in November 1985.
The structure received the name International Bridge of Fraternity to honor Brazilian President Tancredo Neves, marking stronger relations between Brazil and Argentina.
Travelers crossing the bridge need valid identification documents and must complete customs procedures at border control points on both Brazilian and Argentine sides.
The bridge opening in 1985 led to the Iguazu Declaration signing, which later established Mercosur, strengthening South American economic integration.
