Puente Getúlio Vargas, Road bridge across Rio Doce in Linhares, Brazil.
The Getulio Vargas Bridge stretches 636 meters across the Rio Doce, featuring a concrete structure that connected both sides of Linhares until 2009.
Opened in 1954 by President Getulio Vargas, the bridge served as part of BR-101 highway until 1995, marking the end of boat transportation across Rio Doce.
The construction materials came from Pontal do Ouro in Lagoa Juparanã, transported by the Bom Jesus boat which remains near the construction site.
The bridge collapsed partially in January 2009, leading to complete closure, with remnants still visible in the riverbed requiring official removal.
Before its deactivation in 1979 due to flooding, this bridge held the title of longest structure spanning Rio Doce in Espírito Santo state.
