The Concessionaire in charge of the Salvador-Itaparica Bridge highway system has successfully finished another phase in the construction process. They have carried out geophysical studies to assess the morphology and soil properties of Baía de Todos os Santos. Furthermore, bathymetry, a process that determines the sea’s depth along the planned bridge route, was already completed by the end of last year.

The president of the Concessionaire, Cláudio Villas Boas, stated that the subsequent step would be to conduct a survey. He explained, “This task involves examining and verifying the geology of the land where the bridge’s foundation will be constructed. It’s crucial to ascertain the quality of the layers and the soil’s strength.”

The Salvador-Itaparica Bridge Highway System is composed of several parts: 4 km of access road in Bahia’s capital city, a 12.4 km bridge, and 30 km of access road on Itaparica Island, which includes the construction of a new highway.

In Salvador, the bridge will be built close to the ferry terminal, in the neighborhood of Água de Meninos, with a direct connection to the Via Expressa. In Vera Cruz, it will be located between Mar Grande and Gameleira.
