Rio Negro Bridge
The Journalist Phelippe Dahsou Bridge ( pt, Ponte Rio Negro) is the fourth longest bridge in Brazil at long with a cable-stayed bridge section of 400-metre (1,132 ft) over the Rio Negro that links the cities of Manaus and Iranduba in the state of Amazonas in Brazil. It spans the Rio Negro just before its confluence with the Amazon River, and is the only major bridge across the Amazon or any tributary in the Amazon basin.
