The Salvador-Itaparica Bridge, jointly invested by China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) and China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC), held its groundbreaking ceremony on July 1, 2026, on Itaparica Island in Bahia State, Brazil. This marks the official start of construction for the largest cable-stayed sea-crossing bridge in Latin America.
由中国交建和中国铁建共同投资建设的萨尔瓦多-伊塔帕里卡大桥于2026年7月1日在巴西巴伊亚州伊塔帕里卡岛举行开工仪式，标志着拉美地区规模最大的斜拉跨海大桥正式进入建设阶段。
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva attended the ceremony and stated that the project "will be recorded in history" and "bring opportunities and well-being to the people living here." Bahia Governor Jerônimo Rodrigues emphasized that vehicles transporting grain, cotton, and fruits from western Bahia will save 200 kilometers of travel distance — "not only reducing time but also saving expenses and lowering costs."
巴西总统卢拉出席仪式并表示，该项目将"载入史册"，"为生活在这里的人们带来机遇和福祉"。巴伊亚州州长罗德里格斯强调，从巴伊亚州西部运送粮食、棉花和水果的车辆将节省200公里路程，"这不仅意味着时间缩短，还可以节省开支、降低成本"。
The total length of the project is approximately 46.8 kilometers, comprising three main components: landside road sections, the sea-crossing bridge, and island-side road sections. The bridge will serve a population of approximately 10 million people, creating significant employment opportunities and connecting Bahia's inland regions with the state capital of Salvador.
项目总长约46.8公里，包含陆侧陆域、跨海大桥以及岛侧陆域三大组成部分。该桥将惠及约1000万人口，不仅能缩短地理距离，还能创造大量就业机会。
Lu Guannan, President of the project company, described the bridge as "a bridge of hope connecting the future," carrying the aspirations of regional development, and "a bridge of friendship" embodying the deep cooperation between China and Brazil.
项目公司总裁卢冠楠表示，这是一座连接未来的希望之桥，承载着区域发展的美好期盼；也是一座友谊之桥，凝聚着中巴携手发展的深情厚谊。
Carlos Prates, the project's Public Relations Manager, noted that the bridge will not only shorten geographical distances but also create job opportunities. "It will allow the general public easier access to new economic centers, hospitals, commercial areas, and logistics distribution centers, bringing new development opportunities to the inland regions of Bahia."
项目公共关系部经理卡洛斯·普拉特斯介绍，该项目不仅能缩短地理距离，还能创造就业机会。"它将让广大民众更便捷地前往新的经济中心、医院、商区以及物流分拨中心，为巴伊亚州内陆地区发展带来新的机遇。"
Unlike traditional EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) models, CCCC and CRCC are jointly investing in this project, marking a shift from pure contractor roles to investment-and-build participation in Latin American infrastructure. This model reflects the deepening of China-Brazil comprehensive strategic partnership under the Belt and Road framework, transitioning from simple project contracting to full lifecycle cooperation covering investment, construction, and operations.
与传统的EPC模式不同，中国交建和中国铁建共同投资该项目，标志着中国企业从单纯的承包商角色向投资建设运营商角色的转变。这一模式体现了一带一路框架下中巴全面战略伙伴关系的深化，从简单的工程承包向覆盖投资、建设、运营的全生命周期合作过渡。
Brazil is China's largest trading partner in Latin America, and infrastructure cooperation has become a key pillar of bilateral relations. The Salvador-Itaparica Bridge is expected to become a landmark project of China-Brazil Belt and Road cooperation, along with other major projects in the region including the Port of Chancay in Peru. As Chinese enterprises increasingly participate in Latin America's infrastructure modernization, such investment-and-build partnerships are likely to become the prevailing model for future bilateral economic cooperation.
巴西是中国在拉美最大的贸易伙伴，基础设施合作已成为双边关系的重点支柱。萨尔瓦多-伊塔帕里卡大桥有望成为中巴一带一路合作的标志性项目，与秘鲁钱凯港等区域大型项目并列。随着中国企业越来越多地参与拉美基础设施现代化进程，这种投资建设合作模式有望成为未来双边经济合作的主流方式。
