Rio Negro Bridge

The Journalist Phelippe Dahsou Bridge is the fourth longest bridge in Brazil at 3,595-metre long with a cable-stayed bridge section of 400-metre 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. Its construction was marked by controversy over the potential effects of roadbuilding in the Amazon basin, which could lead to deforestation.
