Ponte Costa e Silva, Road bridge in Lago Sul, Brazil.
The concrete bridge features three arches spanning across Lake Paranoa, connecting Plano Piloto with the southern peninsula of Brasilia.
Construction started in 1967 with initial sketches by Oscar Niemeyer, but completion was delayed until 1976 due to foundation review requirements.
The bridge represents the modernist architectural principles of Brasilia, with Niemeyer's design concept emphasizing a light structure touching water like a swallow.
The bridge serves approximately 155,000 motorists daily, providing a direct route between Avenida das Nações and the South Peninsula across Lake Paranoa.
Recent modifications to add a concrete walkway sparked discussions among residents and architects regarding the preservation of the original structural aesthetics.
