Ponte do Guaíba, Road bridge in Porto Alegre, Brazil
The Guaiba Bridge spans 12.3 kilometers across Lake Guaiba, connecting Porto Alegre to the southern region of Rio Grande do Sul state.
Construction of the original bridge began in 1955 and finished in 1958, marking the first fixed crossing point between Porto Alegre and the southern municipalities.
The bridge functions as a central transportation artery for Rio Grande do Sul, representing the connection between the state capital and its southern communities.
The structure carries an average of 30,000 vehicles daily, featuring elevated sections that allow native wildlife to pass underneath without disruption.
The new bridge section, completed in 2020, reaches a height of 36 meters, eliminating the need for traffic stops when large vessels pass underneath.
