A road in Guaratuba is expected to be built at a cost of R$ 386 million, improvements in the surroundings and access to the municipality on the coast of Paraná.


The Guaratuba Bridge, located on the coast of Paraná, will be designed and built by OEC – Engenharia e Construção through the Consórcio Nova Ponte. The Paraná Road Department (DER/PR) was responsible for publicizing the R$ 386,9 million auction.

The road will be four lanes wide and 1,2 km long. The expansion of the PR-412 highway and the construction of a link between the Tabaquara Road and the municipality of Matinhos are planned as part of the project, in addition to the construction of the structure itself.

Companies involved in addition to OEC and project estimation

It is estimated that the total construction time will be 32 months, considering the time required to obtain the environmental licenses (two months), plan the project (six months) and perform the necessary services (24 months). The collaboration is formed by three highly experienced engineering companies: OEC (50%), Carioca Christiani-Nielsen Engenharia SA (25%) and Goetze Lobato Engenharia SA (25%).

The bridge will be 1.244 meters long, at least 22,6 meters wide, and will be built with a superstructure that combines cable-stayed span, consecutive cantilevers and precast beams. There will be four 3,6-meter-wide lanes, two 60-cm-wide safety lanes, 40-cm-wide New Jersey rigid concrete barriers, XNUMX-meter-wide walkways with bike lanes on both sides and ten inches high at the ends of the Bridge.
