Closure of the Anita Garibaldi Bridge: during the blockade, the Laguna ferry will operate 24 hours a day. The complete closure of the Anita Garibaldi Bridge, in Laguna, in the south of Santa Catarina, entered its fourth day this Monday (13) with heavy traffic in the region. To try to ease the traffic that passed through the structure on BR-101, the ferry schedules that cross the region were extended. The partial blockage occurred on Thursday night (9), but it was only on Friday (10) that both directions of the bridge were closed. The situation occurred due to maintenance on one of the cables that support the bridge. The work is expected to continue until July 20th. ?Click and follow the g1 SC channel on WhatsApp At the end of this Monday morning, the Federal Highway Police (PRF) reported that traffic in the north direction registered 2 kilometers of delay, while in the south direction there was only slowness, with no points of congestion. Due to the closure, drivers who need to cross Lagoa do Imaruí must access the marginal roads of BR-101 and use the old Cabeçudas Bridge, with only one lane in each direction. For those coming from the cities of Criciúma, Tubarão and Jaguaruna, another option is the ferry from Molhes da Praia da Barra. Crossings occur every 30 minutes and the cost varies from R$ 25 to R$ 97.

The bridge's central span is 400 meters long and is suspended in the air by 60 steel cables (see below). The bridge also has two towers that rise more than 50 meters high and contribute to the stability of the structure, according to the municipality.
