Ponte General Dutra, Road bridge in Campos dos Goytacazes, Brazil

The Ponte General Dutra spans 101 meters across the Paraiba do Sul River, featuring a metallic arch design with nine tubes on each side.

The original bridge, constructed between 1954 and 1957 during Juscelino Kubitschek's presidency, was replaced in 2008 after a flood caused its collapse in 2007.

The bridge serves as a testament to Brazilian engineering capabilities, representing a crucial connection point between major cities in the southeastern region.

The structure operates with one-way traffic across two lanes, connecting Campos dos Goytacazes with the route to Vitoria along the BR-101 highway.

The modern design eliminates central pillars in the water, utilizing an arch system that prevents future flood-related structural compromises.
