The Works of the Brazil-Paraguay Integration Bridge Started in August Last Year and Are Expected to Be Completed by Mid-2022.

The expectation is that by the end of December, fifty percent of the construction of the new Brazil-Paraguay Integration Bridge will be completed. The Integration Bridge, which is on the Brazilian side of Itaipu, is being financed by the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant. Tomorrow (18), Port Terminals in Bahia, Alagoas, and Paraná Will Be Auctioned

Considered one of the most important structural works for the region and, consequently, for the entire Mercosur, the bridge connecting Brazil and Paraguay began construction before the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and survived that period – the most severe in recent times from an economic perspective as well. Throughout 2020, it has directly employed 452 people on both banks of the Paraná River, in Brazil and Paraguay.

Once completed, the second bridge between the two countries will further stimulate regional development, facilitating cargo logistics and improving traffic in downtown Foz do Iguaçu and on the Friendship Bridge.

Project

The National Department of Transportation Infrastructure (Dnit) is responsible for overseeing the project, managed by the government of Paraná through the State Department of Highways (DER).

The total investment is approximately R$ 463 million, considering the works on the structure, expropriations, and the construction of a perimeter road on the Brazilian side, which will connect the bridge to BR-277.

Of the cable-stayed type, the bridge will be 760 meters long, with a clear span of 470 meters, and will have a lane width of 3.7 meters in each lane, a shoulder of 3 meters, and a sidewalk of 1.70 meters.

Under the responsibility of the Paraguayan government, a third bridge between the two countries will be built over the Paraguay River, connecting the city of Porto Murtinho in Mato Grosso do Sul to Carmelo Peralta in Paraguay. It will be funded by the Paraguayan side of Itaipu and is expected to facilitate Brazil’s access to the Pacific Ocean and open markets for the productions of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.

The James Webb telescope detected the climate of a planet 280 light-years from Earth, with days hot enough to forge iron and nights covered by dense clouds, where winds reach 8,000 km/h.

China is equipping a scientific base in the heart of Antarctica with solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery power to operate even during the polar night in the Ross Sea.

A British company installed Japan’s first megawatt-scale tidal turbine under the Naru Strait, generating clean electricity from the predictable force of the tides, without relying on wind or sun.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: compact robots use AI, carry bricks and mortar, pass through doors, work in teams, and are already building real facades in Europe.
