The governor also informed that she is investigating possible irregularities in order to take all appropriate measures.
According to the government, R$36 million was invested in the construction of the bridge, which took almost two years to complete, with R$20 million allocated by Detran State Department of Transit and the rest of the amount coming from the government's own resources.
The work was carried out in part by public action by Deracre (Department of Highways, Waterway and Airport Infrastructure of Acre) and by the private company Cidade.
