Ponte Fernando Henrique Cardoso

The Ponte Fernando Henrique Cardoso is a road bridge in Palmas that crosses the Tocantins River and connects the city to the Luzimangues district in Porto Nacional. The structure consists of three bridge sections and four embankment segments spanning across water and land.

Construction was completed in 2002 and played an important role in improving road connections between Palmas and southern parts of the state. Its completion marked a milestone in regional infrastructure development.

The structure carries the official name Ponte Siqueira Campos da Amizade e da Integração Nacional, reflecting national integration and friendship values.

The structure is freely accessible to vehicles and pedestrians and connects the two river banks directly. Visitors should be aware that the bridge can be busy during peak hours.

This causeway-style structure stands as Brazil's second-largest road bridge, featuring one kilometer-long main span and two 100-meter secondary bridges.
