Segment between Foz do Iguaçu and Puerto Iguazú remains dark; concessionaire awaits formal transfer
The Brazilian section of the Tancredo Neves International Bridge, which connects Foz do Iguaçu to Puerto Iguazú, has been without illumination for several days, as shown by border monitoring cameras. Concessionaire EPR Iguaçu says the segment has not yet been formally transferred to its management.
Live camera footage shows that the lack of lighting has been recurring since before September 28. The section is part of the concession contract, but EPR Iguaçu states that maintenance and lighting services are not its responsibility until administrative and regulatory procedures are completed.
The concessionaire reported that the formal transfer of assets depends on the progress of those procedures. So far, no official disclosure has been made about the cause of the outage or when the system will be restored.
The situation raises road-safety concerns: the bridge is one of the main border crossing points, used daily by tourists, carriers, and residents. EPR Iguaçu affirmed its commitment to transparency and institutional dialogue, focusing on road safety while the transfer of the section remains unformalized.
