Brazil is about to witness a milestone in road infrastructure: the inauguration of the mega bridge between Pará and Tocantins, the largest project under construction in the country! Expectations are high, and teams are already finalizing the final details so that this monumental 1.727-meter structure over the Araguaia River can begin to transform life and transportation in the region. While the construction of the bridge is nearing completion with less than 2% remaining, the second and important phase, which includes access to the mega bridge between Pará and Tocantins, is already well underway, taking the project to a new level of completion.
The mega bridge between Pará and Tocantins has already overcome its most complex challenges. The structural execution was a mission successfully accomplished by the Chamba Consortium, comprised of the companies Art Leste, AG Gaspar and Garbon. The team completed the construction of the deck, the side safety barriers, known as New Jersey, and the guardrails, completing a 12-meter-wide bridge with lanes, shoulders and 1,5 meters of sidewalk on each side for pedestrians to cross. This grand structure received an investment of R$205 million and, in addition to being the largest under construction in Brazil, it already enchants with its grandeur and resistance, representing an impressive feat of engineering.
Another essential point for sustainability was the planting of 4 thousand native tree seedlings for environmental compensation, in response to the deforestation required for the work. With the completion of this environmental component, the bridge is increasingly ready to fulfill its role as a historic bridge of integration and sustainability.
The new stage: construction of access roads to the mega bridge
Now, the access construction phase is a priority to make the mega bridge between Pará and Tocantins fully operational. Contracted for this mission, the company Topo SA is already mobilized to build the 2.010 meters of access, with 310 meters on the Pará side in São Geraldo do Araguaia and 1.700 meters on the Tocantins side, in Xambioá. On the Tocantins side, extensive earthworks will be necessary to make connections from BR-153 to the mega bridge viable, including some expropriations and environmental approvals that were recently completed.
- Government will invest MORE than R$15 BILLION to ease traffic congestion in one of the most populated regions of the Brazilian state
- America's new $1,5 billion tallest tower faces turmoil, construction delayed
- Elon Musk proposes $20 trillion alternative to tunnel that will connect New York and London in just 54 minutes
- Important highway (BR) will be renovated and selection to fill job vacancies on the project already has a start date
The construction of access roads is essential for the use of the bridge, as they will allow efficient and safe traffic between the states, solving the dependence on the ferry, which currently represents a slow and expensive alternative. It is estimated that this second phase will consume around R$28 million, an amount essential to ensure that the population and workers of the region have a modern, agile and economical passage.
The impact of the mega bridge between Pará and Tocantins
With the completion of accesses and the inauguration The region will experience a true transformation. The BR-153 bridge promises to eliminate ferry crossing costs, as well as speed up the transportation of goods and facilitate the movement of the local population. This new link between Pará and Tocantins will boost the economic development of both states, creating a free and functional passage between two regions with strong agricultural, commercial and industrial influence.
The project stands out not only for its size and logistical importance, but also for its potential social and economic impact, as it more efficiently connects truck drivers, companies and the population that depends on the crossing. This direct connection on the BR-153 promises to bring benefits ranging from saving time to reducing costs for those who travel along this route.
Expectations for the inauguration
The engineering community and the population of both states are eagerly awaiting the completion of the access roads and the official opening of the mega bridge between Pará and Tocantins. With the final works well underway, it is only a matter of time before Brazil celebrates the completion of an infrastructure project that will go down in history and that promises to strengthen the North-Central-West development axis, connecting two key regions of the country more quickly and efficiently.
The construction of the mega bridge between Pará and Tocantins is more than a monumental work; it is an achievement that represents progress and an essential step for national infrastructure.
The bridge has been practically ready since 2022, and until now 2024 the government of love has not managed to finish it yet.
It's a shame to make users pay for the ferry to make the crossing.
Love won ❤️
When **** fled the country to the United States full of jewels, he left the bridge half-built despite having started it under the Temer government. The one who will finish it is Lula.
Peomenos did his part, despite leaving it almost ready, the government of love is delaying its end, leaving the population at the mercy of the bausas, delaying the development of the region.
**** Bolsonaro, who built the bridge, brought water to the poverty of the Northeast with the transposition of the São Francisco River, which was stopped by **** for 10 YEARS.
Go and find out, he didn't run away and didn't take any jewelry he received as a gift, while your ex-convict took eleven containers with objects from the palace, search on Google and you'll find out the truth! Just search about the ex-convict's jewelry.
Hate...speaking with hate of the love that never gave...never had...was unloved by ****
It should have been opened already.
Any **** knows that 90% of the work was done under the Bolsonaro government. It is very dishonest to say otherwise.
The biggest bridge they are building is the road and rail bridge in Marabá.
