Florentino Avidos Bridge, Road bridge in Vitoria, Brazil.
Florentino Avidos Bridge spans waterways between Vila Velha and Vitoria using steel construction based on 1920s engineering design. The structure serves both vehicle and pedestrian traffic as part of the metropolitan transportation network.
Steel components were manufactured in Germany and delivered to Vitoria Port in 1927, creating the first permanent connection between Vitoria Island and the mainland. This project marked a turning point in the region's transportation history.
The bridge bears the name of Governor Florentino Avidos and holds recognition as a heritage site from the Espírito Santo State Council of Culture. This status reflects its importance to the region's identity and memory.
The bridge is easy to access as part of daily traffic routes connecting both sides of the metropolitan area. Pedestrians can cross during daylight hours, though it is primarily designed for vehicles.
The bridge earned the nickname 'Five Bridges' because five prefabricated railway bridges were joined together into a single structure. This innovative construction method made the project a technical achievement of its era.
