Friendship Bridge night maintenance in Foz do Iguaçu
Marco Três newsroom · edited by Annie Grellmann
Work on Friday (11) with traffic detour and alternating walkways
EPR Iguaçu is performing maintenance on the deck and walkways of the International Friendship Bridge in Foz do Iguaçu on Friday night (11) and early Saturday (12), from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. The work includes repairs to the customs area and the bridge structure, with vehicle traffic temporarily detoured and pedestrians alternating between the walkways.
The concessionaire EPR Iguaçu, which manages 662 kilometers of highways in western and southwestern Paraná, scheduled conservation interventions on the Friendship Bridge during the period of lowest traffic flow.
The work takes place on two fronts. The first covers spot repairs on the deck of the customs zone, including the covered area, and along the bridge. The second focuses on the upkeep of the pedestrian walkways.
Impact on vehicle traffic
For the deck repairs, there will be a temporary traffic detour with signage and guidance for drivers. The operation was planned to allow maintenance without completely stopping circulation.
Pedestrian circulation
On the walkways, the services occur in an alternating manner: while one is closed for work, the other remains open in both directions. This ensures pedestrians can cross the bridge throughout the intervention.
Authorities from both countries have approved the planning and implementation of the closure.
Useful information
Drivers and pedestrians must obey the signage and follow the instructions of on-site crews. In case of adverse weather conditions, the work will be rescheduled.
For support, the emergency number is 0800 277 0163 (free medical and mechanical assistance). More information is available on the official channels: Instagram and X @epr.iguacu and WhatsApp https://x.gd/bhZS3.
