The Rio Negro bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that connects the cities of Manaus and Iranduba in the Amazon region of Brazil. The bridge crosses the river Rio Negro after which the bridge is also named after.
The idea to build a bridge started in 2003 when people wanted to have a bridge connection over the river that replaced boats.
Construction of the bridge began in 2007 and opened to traffic in 2011
The Rio Negro bridge is 3,595 meters long, and the main span 200 meters. The tower is 185 meters high.
