Puente Francisco de Sá, Railway bridge between São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.

The Francisco de Sá Bridge spans 1200 meters across the Paraná River, connecting the states of São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul through steel structure construction.

Built in 1926 as part of the Northwestern Brazil Railway expansion project, this bridge replaced ferry boats that previously transported train wagons across the Paraná River.

The bridge represents a milestone in Brazilian railway engineering, marking the connection between São Paulo's economic center and the agricultural regions of Mato Grosso do Sul.

Located between Castilho municipality in São Paulo and Três Lagoas in Mato Grosso do Sul, the bridge continues to serve cargo transportation between these states.

The metal structure originally planned for this bridge required modifications in 1918 when engineers determined it would not support the weight of modern trains.
