São Vicente Suspension Bridge, Suspension bridge in São Vicente, Brazil
The São Vicente Suspension Bridge spans 180 meters across Mar Pequeno strait, connecting the island to the mainland with steel cables and metal towers.
The bridge construction began in 1911 as part of a sanitation project, opening in May 1914 as the first suspended structure of its kind in Brazil.
The bridge represents Brazilian engineering excellence from the early 20th century, receiving heritage status recognition in 1982 for its architectural value.
The structure measures 6.4 meters in width and accommodates both vehicles and pedestrians, with the deck varying between 4 to 6.5 meters above sea level.
German steel cables support the entire structure, which underwent a complete restoration in 2015 at a cost of 33 million Brazilian reais.
