The Hercilio Luz Bridge is  the first bridge constructed to link the Island of Florianópolis (state of Santa Catarina) with the mainland of Brazil.

It is  the longest suspension bridge in Brazil, and  many sites claim that is  also one of the oldest hanging bridges in the world. The central span was considered quite long (but not the longest, at 340 meters) at the time of its opening and  is still one of the 100 largest suspension bridges.

The bridge was designed by the firm of Robinson & Steinman, and  completed in 1926 and  took ten times its original budget to build. it  was named in honour of Hercilio Luz, a former governor of the state of Santa Catarina. The bridge has been closed since 1991.

It has the fairly unusual feature that the truss carrying the roadway (a continuous stiffening component) is  above the roadway itself and  meets up with the cables making it  non uniform in height.

The bridge was built by American Bridge Company, which, perhaps more  than any other company in the world, was best qualified to work on a bridge with a continuous stiffening component. The Florianopolis Bridge when built from 1922 to 1926 was the longest eyebar suspension span in existence at that time. The 11 13’-O”-long design features towers with rocker bearings. The company brought to that project its own experimental heat-treated eyebars, and  as project contractor pioneered stiffening techniques that saved materials and  money while providing greater rigidity.
