Bridge Phelippe Daou

Long Rio Negro bridge linking Manaus with Iranduba across the dark Amazon water

Bridge Phelippe Daou, often called the Rio Negro Bridge, is the great modern crossing west of Manaus. Its long cable-stayed span is a striking way to grasp the width of the river system and the scale of the road connection toward Iranduba and the lower Rio Negro.

For visitors it is more of a viewpoint and arrival experience than a pedestrian attraction. Cross by car or tour transfer when heading out of Manaus, and watch how quickly the dense city gives way to broad water and forested banks.
