Ponte Dom Pedro II, Iron railway bridge in Cachoeira and São Félix, Brazil.

The metal bridge spans 365 meters across the Rio Paraguaçu with nine meters of width, connecting the municipalities of Cachoeira and São Félix.

Engineers completed the construction of Ponte Dom Pedro II in 1885, using iron components manufactured in England to create this transportation link.

The central pillar of the bridge rests upon a small river island that holds religious significance in the Candomblé faith traditions.

The structure serves multiple transportation functions, accommodating railway traffic, vehicles, and pedestrians crossing between the two municipalities.

The bridge received recognition as an IPAC historic heritage site, marking its contribution to the development of Brazilian infrastructure.
