Removal marks the end of research on people flow at the triple border
On October 19, 2026, the turnstiles on the Friendship Bridge were removed in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, after a study on the movement of people at the triple border was completed. The operation was planned to adapt the bridge’s infrastructure to the new data context.

The removal of the turnstiles from the Friendship Bridge took place on October 19, 2026, in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil. The measure concluded a research period that analyzed the flow of pedestrians, vehicles, and transport volumes among Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina.
The removal operation was planned to adjust the bridge’s infrastructure to the conclusions drawn from the studies. The collected data will be used to prepare a report detailing practices and priorities to improve safety and efficiency at the site.
The complete report, containing detailed movement data, is expected to be released in about three months, allowing local authorities to plan appropriate interventions for the population’s and regional commerce’s demand.
