Marabá Combined Bridge, Railway and road bridge in Marabá, Brazil
The Marabá Combined Bridge is a structure carrying both railway and road traffic across the Tocantins River. It uses the center section for train operations while vehicles travel on either side.
The structure was built in the 1980s to transport raw materials from inland mines to coastal ports. It represented a turning point in connecting Brazil's interior with its shipping infrastructure.
The structure connects southeastern Pará to the northern Brazilian coast, serving as a vital link between different regions and their communities.
The bridge handles daily traffic for trucks, cars, and trains moving simultaneously in separate sections. You can view the structure from the riverbanks or while crossing on foot or by vehicle.
This structure stands as Brazil's only combined bridge with continuous left-hand traffic lanes and no expansion joints across its entire length.
