The New Bridge

May 1 is the world’s national holiday celebrating the laborers and workers (the US version is labor day in the fall). Campos had the added pleasure of celebrating the partial opening of a new bridge that crosses the Rio de Paraiba do Sul connecting North Campos (Guarus) and Campos Downtown. The gala was attended by the past governor (Rosinha Garotinho) and current governor (Sergio Cabral) of the state of Rio de Janeiro and the mayor of Campos.


The new bridge was needed as one previously collapsed and an additional bridge was in need of repair. This new bridge, named after Rosinha Garotinho, connects with roads north of Campos bringing more traffic. This photo was taken May 2 where the congestion on the bridge is already noticeable. My rides to work are now more complicated.
