The Construction of the Bridge Over the Itaum River Will Connect the Neighborhoods of Fátima and Guanabara. Curved Project Will Be 182 Meters, with Construction Scheduled to Start in the Coming Months and Last 18 Months.

Prepare for a new chapter in Joinville’s mobility: the construction of the bridge between the neighborhoods of Fátima and Guanabara is confirmed. The structure, with a curved design of 182 meters, will cost R$ 25.9 million and will be funded with resources from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The estimated completion time is 18 months — and the contract is already in the final stages of preparation.

The new bridge will be built over the Itaum River, directly connecting Anêmonas Street (Fátima) and Esteves Júnior Street (Guanabara). But the detail that stands out the most is the design: yes, the bridge will be curved — a rarity in urban projects in the region. In addition to the direct connection between the neighborhoods, the city hall is already planning the creation of a binary system between Anêmonas and Guanabara streets to reorganize local traffic and better distribute vehicle flow.

And how did all this come to fruition? The process was not as quick as the crossing promises to be. The bid for the bridge construction was launched back in August 2024, but was suspended in October for technical adjustments. It was only resumed in December, with the bid approval coming now in April 2025. After the contract is signed, the notice to proceed will be issued and the machinery can get to work.

This is not the only investment in bridges that Joinville is making. Another project already underway is the bridge that will connect the neighborhoods of Adhemar Garcia and Boa Vista, expected to be completed by 2026. Both are part of a package of improvements to the city’s urban mobility — and everything indicates that more works are on the way.

The city hall’s expectation is that the bridge will bring significant improvements for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, especially during peak hours. And like any urban construction, the project will affect the daily routine of those passing through — but with the promise of more fluidity and less honking.
