Rio Negro Bridge
Ponte Rio Negro
A cable-stayed bridge spanning the Rio Negro, about 3.6 km long. It is a modern landmark of Manaus and looks best at sunset from the riverbank or from a boat.
The Rio Negro Bridge opened in 2011. It is about 3.6 km long and is one of the longest river bridges in Brazil. Its central section is cable-stayed. The bridge connects Manaus with Iranduba on the opposite bank, and it is also the route for drivers heading to Lake Janauari and the rainforest lodges around Acajatuba. Visitors mostly admire the bridge and the sunset from the Ponta Negra riverside promenade or from sunset boat tours, and the bridge is lit up at night. The bridge carries motor traffic and is not suitable for walking. For a panoramic photo, shoot from the riverside promenade or from a boat on the river.
