In the heart of the Southeast, where people don't stop for a single minute, the Rio-Niterói Bridge is the great artery that circulates blood between the Marvelous City and charming Niterói. More than a passage, it is the bridge that shortened distances and made life easier for people who don't have time to waste.
Look at the size of the child: Rio-Niterói Bridge measures 13.290 meters of pure ingenuity, with a stretch over the sea that leaves anyone open mouth. And no wonder, there are three lanes on each side, where the coming and going never stops.
A story of this giant It started way back when, during the Empire, but it was in the 60s that the dream came to fruition.
With a little push from President Costa e Silva and the futuristic vision of Minister Mário Andreazza, the bridge It came out of the ground, and even Queen Elizabeth II came to take a peek.
- Highways (BRs) will have tolls that change prices depending on the time of day! The decision follows what is done in other countries
- The largest railway in the Northeast has a date to be completed and become a fixed route for important minerals extracted from Brazil to China and India
- Small country APPROVES Pharaonic US$67 billion, 1.541 km construction — China and Japan compete for leadership of HISTORIC project
- BE CAREFUL, more than 2 thousand km of highways will be privatized with free flow electronic tolls and those who do not pay may accumulate some 'points' in their wallet!
The Rio-Niterói Bridge is a landmark of Brazilian engineering
The group at the time got their hands dirty with a pre-molded stave technique, which at the time was the most modern. And to ensure that everything stays in order, even They took care of security with a anti-collision scheme so that no one can make a mistake.
The bridge is always clinking, with top-notch maintenance and an electronic eye that doesn't blink, monitoring traffic day and night.
About to reach half a century of life, the Rio Niteroi bridge He doesn't care about his age. Designed for a flow of 50 thousand snappers per day and today withstanding the flow of three times as much, this lady from engineering continues doing what he does best: bringing together the people of Rio and Niterói in a single hug.
