Newton Navarro Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Natal, Brazil
The Newton Navarro Bridge stretches 1781 meters across the Potengi River, featuring two towers that rise 103 meters above the water level.
Construction of this transportation link began in October 2004, with engineers completing the project in November 2007 at a cost of 80 million dollars.
The bridge bears the name of Newton Navarro, a Brazilian architect who made substantial contributions to engineering projects throughout the country.
The structure accommodates 39,000 vehicles daily, connecting the North and South zones while reducing travel time between the airport and downtown Natal.
Italian engineer Mario de Miranda designed this concrete bridge with double planes of stay cables and parallel precast girders for enhanced stability.
