The bridge will connect the cities of Guaratuba and Matinhos, on the state's coast, 130 km from the capital Curitiba. It is the result of a R$ 386.9 million investment by the Government of Paraná, through the Department of Roads and Highways (DER/PR), an agency linked to the State Secretariat of Infrastructure and Logistics. The work is being carried out by the Nova Ponte Consortium, formed by Odebrecht Engineering & Construction, Carioca Engineering, and Goetze Lobato Engineering.
