Rio Negro Bridge

The Journalist Phelippe Daou Bridge is the fourth longest bridge in Brazil at 3,595 metres (11,795 ft) long, with a cable-stayed bridge section of 400 metres (1,300 ft), over the Rio Negro that links the city of Manaus with the small town of 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. Its construction was marked by controversy over the potential effects of roadbuilding in the Amazon basin, which could lead to deforestation. A 2018 study found that the construction of this bridge did induce deforestation.
