Manaus, Brazil
Benjamin Constant Bridge
The Benjamin Constant Bridge, also known as Metallic Bridge, is a suspension structure located on Sete de Setembro Avenue that crosses the Igarapé do Mestre Chico between the Cachoeirinha and Centro neighborhoods, in the Brazilian city of Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas. Construction began in 1893 under the supervision of English engineer Frank Hirst Hebblethwaite. The following year, the masonry pillars were ready to receive the metal structure, whose parts were manufactured by the English company Dorman Long & Company Limited, a firm that still exists today.
