Rio Negro Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Manaus, Brazil

The Rio Negro Bridge extends 3595 meters across the Negro River, connecting Manaus with Iranduba through four traffic lanes and pedestrian paths.

Construction of the bridge began in December 2007 and concluded in October 2011, marking the 342nd anniversary of Manaus with its inauguration.

The bridge received its official name, Journalist Phelippe Daou Bridge, in 2017 to honor a regional media pioneer who founded the Rede Amazonica network.

The bridge reduced travel time between Manaus and Iranduba from 40 minutes by ferry to less than 10 minutes by vehicle crossing.

The central mast reaches 190 meters in height and features a diamond shape design to minimize wind resistance and prevent wave resonance.
