Since the accident with the Fundão dam on 5 November, Samarco made a concentrated effort and, at the rate of one delivery every 15 days, on 15 February it concluded the rebuilding of the last damaged bridge. In all, seven larger bridges were reconstructed in Minas Gerais – four in Mariana and three in Barra Longa.
The last bridge to be rebuilt was Curvina, between the road that links Barra Longa to the district of Gesteira, and the road between Barra Longa and Acaiaca. The steel beam and concrete bridge has a capacity of 45 tons and a length of 37 meters.
