Bridge construction in Marabá, Brazil

Overview

In Marabá, Pará, a R$ 4.1 billion infrastructure project funded by Vale is nearing completion. The project involves constructing two new bridges over the Tocantins River—one for road use and one for rail—each approximately 2.3 kilometers long.

Currently, the project has surpassed 80% execution and is expected to be finished in 2027. The initiative aims to separate traffic flows to improve safety and efficiency, replacing a 1980s-era bridge that currently handles all trains, vehicles, and pedestrians. The construction is serving as a regional economic driver, employing 2,951 workers and generating approximately R$ 79 million in ISS tax revenue.
