BR-156 is a federal highway of Brazil.[1]

Because of the road conditions, it takes around 10-12 hours to drive between Oiapoque and Macapá.[3]

With the Oyapock River Bridge (linking the cities of Oiapoque in Brazil and Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock in French Guiana) open to traffic starting from 20 March 2017, it is now possible to drive from Macapá to Cayenne, the capital city of French Guiana.[3]
