The bridge was inaugurated in 1998 and connects the roads SP-320 and MS-316. It has 3.7 kilometres (2.3 mi) of length. Its name pays homage to Brazilian deputy Roberto Rollemberg and to senator Vicente Emílio Vuolo, for their strong support to the construction of the bridge.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
