Details of Execution: How the Bridge Is Being Built

So far, 24 piles have been completed, with 14 in the stayed section and 10 in the pre-cast section.

In total, the project foresees the construction of 64 piles, with 40 piles in the pre-cast section and 24 in the stayed section.

Additionally, 37 girders have already been manufactured, with the goal of reaching a total of 160 by the end of the project.

The cross girders have also started to be assembled, with four already completed and 22 expected to complete the bridge’s structure.

The engineer from the Department of Roads of Paraná (DER/PR), Larissa Vieira, stated that the progress of the work is within what was planned.

“The progress has been visible, with quality, safety, and efficiency. Our goal is to deliver a project that will become a landmark for the coastline of Paraná”, highlighted the engineer.

Economic Impact and Jobs in Paraná

The Guaratuba Bridge project has already had a significant impact on the local economy.

So far, more than 415 workers are directly involved in the construction, and by the end of 2024, this number is expected to reach 600 people.

The expectation is that the completion of the bridge, scheduled for April 2026, will bring significant benefits for tourism and the economy of the Paraná coastline.

Furthermore, the project is being carried out by a multidisciplinary team, composed of engineers, biologists, sailors, oceanographers, bricklayers, welders, among other professionals, who work tirelessly to ensure that the project becomes a reality.

Million Investments and Real-Time Monitoring

The Government of Paraná, through the DER/PR, is investing R$ 386.9 million in the construction of the Guaratuba Bridge.

To ensure transparency and monitoring of the work, the activities can be monitored in real time, through monitoring cameras available on the official project website (https://www.pontedeguaratuba.pr.gov.br/).

According to the latest figures, the investment in October was R$ 104,699,377.72.

The Bridge will have 1,244 meters in length, with four traffic lanes, two safety lanes, sidewalks with bike lanes, and a protection system with rigid concrete barriers and guardrails at the ends.

A Project Decades in the Making: The Timeline of the Guaratuba Bridge

The Construction of the Bridge officially began on April 30, 2024, with the issuance of the Installation License by the State Secretariat of Infrastructure and Logistics.

Throughout the months, various milestones have already been achieved, such as the 1st concreting of piles in the pre-cast section (May), the installation of the crane at the construction site (July), and the 1st cross girder completed (September).

Check out some important milestones of the project:

April: Announcement of the issuance of the Installation License
May: 1st concreting of pile in the pre-cast section
June: 1st concreting of pile in the stayed section
July: Installation of the crane at the construction site
August: Manufacturing of the 1st girder
September: Completion of the 1st cross girder
October: Completion of the piles of Support 4 (stayed section)

Expected Delivery and Online Monitoring

The expectation is that the project will be completed by April 2026, with the promise of transforming the mobility and economy of the entire region.

The good news is that while the work progresses, everyone can follow the developments through real-time monitoring cameras. Visit the Guaratuba Bridge website to see how the work is being done!
