No wonder traffic backs up so damn bad on the New Bridge. It looks like 50/50 split of people not realizing the Old Bridge still exists. I will continue to enjoy the Old Bridge why you fools sit in traffic.

The only reason I know about that story is Chapelle's show, so I had no idea

Let's be fair, I promise you thats a technicality that doesn't matter. I have feeling the original person who commented never has seen or even knew there was another bridge.

I mean, you can see it pretty clearly from the OTHER bridge.

They're still doing studies after 3,000 years. SOP.

The congo is crazier. No fording points in W Africa. The chimpanzee populations on each side of the river have evolved with totally different social hierarchies with matriarchs on one side and patriarchs on the other.

Mega-Bridge in the Amazon - Rio Negro-Iranduba Bridge
LINK
quote:
The Manaus- Iranduba Bridge over the Rio Negro branch of the Amazon River, near Manaus, the Amazonian metropolis of 1,2 million inhabitants, linking the large city and the whole Northern/ Northeastern Amazon to the Southern Amazon area and thus the rest of the country. Today cars usually take a four-day ferry-boat ride from Belém, on the mouth of the Amazon River, to reach Manaus from Eastern and Southern Brazil (if you come from Venezuela or the Northern Amazon, there is a good road). The road leading south of Manaus, the BR-319 was swallowed by the jungle in the 90's and "environmentalists" prevent it being rebuilt, though it seems it will be rebuilt anyway shortly, linking this great bridge to the state of Rondonia and the rest of the nation. Construction started in 2008 and completion is due in 2010 or 2011, if the ever-threatening environmorons don't stop it. Basic data: type: normal/ cable-stayed length: 3,5 km cable stayed section: 400 m height of road (max): 55 m height of central pillar: 187 m

So the old bridge.. What is that?

That bridge crosses the Rio Negro which is tributary of the Amazon River but is technically a different river.

Yeah, that one is weird because it crosses the Rio Negro kind of near the Amazon, but doesn't look like it really goes anywhere and doesn't do anything for North-South access of the Amazon.
I guess your blurb sort of describes why, but it's crazy still.
