In which city is the Rio–Niterói Bridge?

President Costa e Silva Bridge, commonly known as the Rio–Niterói Bridge, is a box girder bridge crossing Guanabara Bay, in the State of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It connects the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Niterói. It is currently the second longest bridge in Latin America, after the Metro Line 1 bridge, and the 48th longest in the world in 2020.

Construction began symbolically on November 9, 1968, in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom on her first, and thus far only, visit to Brazil. Actual work began in January 1969.

The bridge opened on March 4, 1974, with the official name of President Costa e Silva Bridge. "Rio-Niterói" started as a descriptive nickname that soon became better known than the official name. Today hardly anyone refers to it by its official name.

The bridge was featured in the 2011 film "Fast Five".
