Amizade Bridge

Amizade Bridge, Road bridge between Macau Peninsula and Taipa Island, China.

Amizade Bridge is a four-lane road crossing the Praia Grande Bay with two elevated sections that allow ships to pass underneath. The structure connects Macau Peninsula to Taipa Island and handles significant traffic between these two areas of the territory.

The government approved a second Macau–Taipa crossing in 1986 and set up a port and bridge office in October 1988. Work began on 18 August 1990 under a contract signed with engineer Câncio Martins, with an estimated cost of 372.9 million patacas. Opening to traffic in April 1994, the bridge was named Amizade, meaning friendship, to symbolise Sino-Portuguese ties.

The bridge's name was chosen in 1994 by the Portuguese administration to symbolize Sino-Portuguese friendship; Chinese authorities called it the Sino-Portuguese Friendship Bridge. Its opening featured a 1,559-metre golden dragon procession, surpassing a 1993 Dutch record, and 15,000 residents walked across.

Daytime crossing is best when traffic flows steadily, though rush hours should be avoided. Pedestrians are not permitted on the bridge, so a car, taxi, or bus is required to cross.

The bridge's two crests rise about 30 metres above the sea, and its deck reaches a highest point of 37 metres. In April 1994 the inauguration featured a golden dragon procession 1,559 metres long, beating a 1,440-metre Dutch record from 1993, and 15,000 residents walked across.
