Affonso Penna bridge, Suspension bridge in Itumbiara, Brazil.

The Affonso Penna bridge stretches 240 meters across the Paranaiba River, connecting the cities of Itumbiara in Goias and Arapora in Minas Gerais.

Built in the early 20th century and inaugurated in November 1909, the bridge marks a period of infrastructure development in Brazil's central-western region.

The National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage recognized the bridge's engineering excellence by listing it as a protected cultural asset in 2012.

The structure combines both road and rail transportation capabilities, serving as a vital connection point for the movement of people and goods between states.

The bridge's iron framework and wooden plank construction exemplifies early 20th-century engineering methods used in Brazilian infrastructure projects.
