About
The Tancredo Neves Bridge, better known as Fraternity Bridge (Ponte da Fraternidade, Puente de la Fraternidad), is a bridge that connects the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu with the Argentine Puerto Iguazú, spanning the Iguazú River. Measuring 489 meters long, 16.5 meters wide, and 70 meters high, it began with a 1972 letter of intent and officially opened on November 29, 1985. It was named after Tancredo Neves, a Brazilian politician, despite early proposals by local Argentine officials to name it "Santa Maria".
