Ponte Duarte Coelho, Road bridge in Recife, Brazil
The Ponte Duarte Coelho connects the neighborhoods of Boa Vista and Santo Antonio across the Capibaribe River in central Recife.
Built in 1868 as a metal railway bridge by Brazilian Company Limited, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1935 and opened for vehicle traffic in 1943.
During the annual Carnival celebration, the bridge serves as the central point for mounting the giant rooster sculpture of Galo da Madrugada street parade.
The bridge links two main avenues of the city, Avenida Conde da Boa Vista and Avenida Guararapes, supporting daily transportation needs of residents.
The original structure earned the nickname Maxambomba Bridge, derived from the English term 'machine pump' referring to locomotives that crossed the former bridge.
