Transport

Year: 2010

Operation:
Overland haulage from Contagem (MG) to Rio de Janeiro Port (RJ).

Highlight:
The electrical transformer was exported to Egypt, a high level increasing market. The engineering project meet the reducing time frame goal, considering route difficuties.

It was needed to cross the Vila Rica Bridge, known as the Soul Bridge and currently replaced.

The Soul Bridge was opened in 1957 by the President Juscelino Kubitschek. It is a 50's upbuilding of 260 kilometers width and 9 meters high. The design, closed angled curves and precarious protection walls are considered tricky, mostly to trucks.

Transdata carried out the transport which was the last one made accross the retired bridge.
