Bridges Over the Amazon River: They Do Exist

Contrary to a common misconception, several bridges cross the Amazon River and its major tributaries. Notable examples include:

• Rio Negro Bridge (Manaus, Brazil)
• Ponte dos Tupinambás (Brazil)
• Iquitos Bridge over the Nanay River (a tributary, Peru)

While fewer bridges span the Amazon compared to other large rivers due to its width, seasonal flooding, and environmental sensitivity, they are not absent.
