The Long-Awaited Construction of the Salvador-Itaparica Bridge, a Milestone in Brazilian Engineering, is About to Get Off the Ground. Expected to Start in Less Than 60 Days, This Ambitious Project Promises to Transform Urban Mobility in Bahia, Connecting the Capital Salvador to the Island of Itaparica.

With a length of 12.36 km, the Salvador-Itaparica Bridge is not just a megaproject due to its physical structure, but also because of the impact it will bring.

It will be the second largest bridge in Brazil, second only to the Rio-Niterói Bridge, and the largest in Latin America considering its stretch over water. It joins the list of the largest bridges in the world.

Currently, the crossing between Salvador and the Island of Itaparica is mainly done by ferries. With the bridge, the route that is currently 454 km will be reduced to 311 km, saving almost two hours of travel time.

The initial investment, which was approximately R$ 6 billion, rose to R$ 13 billion after additional studies. The project not only includes the bridge but also the revitalization of the road systems in Salvador and on the Island of Itaparica.

The bridge will feature a cable-stayed section of 0.86 km and will rise 85 meters above sea level, allowing navigation of large vessels.

The width of the bridge varies between 26.4 and 30 meters, with the possibility of future expansion. The pillars will have a maximum height of 70 meters, and the foundations will be made with large-diameter drilled piles.

During the works, more than 7,000 jobs will be created. The bridge will facilitate access to other regions of Bahia and the country, boosting tourism and local commerce.

With an expected completion between 2027 and 2028, the Salvador-Itaparica Bridge is an example of how large works can transform the reality of a region.

The expectation is that once completed, the bridge will not only improve mobility, but also become a symbol of innovation and progress for Bahia and Brazil.
