Benjamin Constant suspended bridge, Historic suspension bridge in Centro district, Manaus, Brazil
The Benjamin Constant suspended bridge extends 161 meters in length and rises 30 meters above the Igarapé do Mestre Chico waterway.
English engineer Frank Hirst Hebblethwaite supervised the construction of this metal structure between 1893 and 1895, using materials from Dorman Long & Company Limited.
The bridge connects the neighborhoods of Cachoeirinha and Centro, standing near the Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market, reflecting the engineering capabilities of the late 1800s.
Following extensive renovations completed in 2008, the bridge now accommodates both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, with a width of 10.5 meters across its span.
The structure has carried multiple names throughout its history, including the Metallic Bridge, Third Bridge, and Cachoeirinha Bridge.
