The Paso de los Libres–Uruguaiana International Bridge is a combined road and railroad bridge that joins Argentina and Brazil across the Uruguay River, running between Paso de los Libres, Corrientes Province, Argentina, and Uruguaiana, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It measures 1,419 metres (4,656 ft) in length.

Construction started in 1943 and the bridge was open for transit in 1945, though the 1945 Brazilian coup d'état made the official inauguration happen in 1947.[1]
