The bridge between Atiradores and XV de Novembro reached a decisive stage in Pomerode, with seven concrete beams lifted by cranes. The operation conducted by the local company aims to improve traffic in the Center, especially during periods of intense tourism, when visitors increase the pressure on the city’s local roads.
The new bridge in Pomerode, connecting the streets of Atiradores and XV de Novembro, progressed with the assembly of seven concrete beams in an operation carried out with cranes to improve traffic in the central region. The stage was announced on May 22, 2026, by the Jornal de Pomerode.
The operation involved four cranes, support trailers, and specialized movement within the construction site. According to the source, each beam is 31 meters long and approximately 82 tons, in a stage considered important for the new crossroad that should contribute to the urban mobility of the municipality.
Bridge advances at a strategic point in Pomerode

The construction of the new bridge is part of the connection between the streets of Atiradores and XV de Novembro, two important roads for circulation in the central region of Pomerode. The proposal is to create a new travel alternative, especially during times of increased movement in the city.

City in RS completes lifting of 8 beams of the new Arno Inácio Utzig Bridge with an operation that mobilized 4 cranes and 4 trucks, marking a decisive advancement in the construction and now paving the way for abutments and passageway.
The advancement of the structure draws attention due to its direct impact on urban traffic. In tourist cities, small changes in flow can make a difference during peak hours, events, and periods when visitors increase the pressure on central roads.
Seven beams of 82 tons were installed
The most recent stage involved the installation of seven concrete beams. Each piece is 31 meters long and weighs approximately 82 tons, requiring technical planning for safe transportation, positioning, and hoisting.
This type of operation does not rely solely on the strength of the equipment. The assembly of a bridge requires calculation, coordination, and strict site control, especially when heavy pieces need to be moved in an urban area with potential impact on the surroundings.
Four cranes were used in the operation
The assembly was carried out by JP Guindastes, a company from Pomerode responsible for hoisting the beams. According to businessman Johni Piske, the operation used four cranes: one of 350 tons, one of 250 tons, and two others of 90 tons.
In addition to the main equipment, six trailers were used to transport the machine counterweights. Another vehicle also assisted in moving the beams within the site, reinforcing the logistical complexity of assembling the new bridge.
Work required logistics and safety
The size of the pieces made the operation complex. Beams with dozens of meters and 82 tons cannot be hoisted without a well-defined sequence of movements, support points, sized equipment, and a prepared team.
Safety is one of the central parts of this type of intervention. In infrastructure works, hoisting structural elements represents a sensitive phase, as any positioning error can compromise deadlines, equipment, and workers involved in the execution.
Connection should help traffic in the Center
The new bridge is expected to assist traffic flow in the central region of Pomerode. The expectation is that the connection between Atiradores and XV de Novembro will offer an alternative circulation route and help reduce bottlenecks during peak demand times.
The expected impact is especially relevant during periods of intense tourism. Pomerode receives visitors throughout the year, and the increase in vehicles can cause congestion on central roads. A new crossing can redistribute part of this movement and improve the experience for residents and tourists.
Tourism increases pressure on mobility
In tourist municipalities, urban mobility needs to respond not only to the routine of residents but also to the temporary flows of visitors. Weekends, holidays, and events can quickly change the volume of vehicles in central areas.
Therefore, the construction of the bridge appears as a project with an impact beyond engineering. It connects to the functioning of the city, the comfort of those who live in the region, and the ability to receive visitors without overloading the same traffic corridors.
Local company participates in execution
The participation of JP Guindastes also adds a local component to the project. The Pomerode-based company was responsible for assembling the beams, in a stage highlighted by technical complexity and the size of the equipment used.
Johni Piske stated that participating in the project was a source of satisfaction for the team involved, especially due to the importance of the project for the city’s development. The presence of a local company in a decisive stage reinforces the link between infrastructure and the regional economy.
Project aims for comfort for residents and tourists
According to the source, the new connection is expected to provide more comfort for both residents and tourists. The idea is that the structure will contribute to the growth and modernization of Pomerode, especially by improving circulation in a sensitive area of the municipality.
The bridge alone does not solve all traffic challenges, but it can function as a relevant piece within local mobility. When a new connection creates alternatives, the impact can appear in fluidity, travel time, and the reduction of bottlenecks.
Now, the question is how this new connection will change the routine of residents when it is ready. Do you think the bridge will truly alleviate congestion on days of intense tourism, or will Pomerode still need other mobility projects? Leave your opinion in the comments.
