Octávio Frias de Oliveira Bridge

The Octavio Frias de Oliveira bridge is best known as The Cable-stayed Bridge. It was opened in May 2008 in São Paulo, Brazil over the Pinheiros River.
Project design team was Catão Francisco Ribeiro, architect João Valente, and engineer Edward Zeppo Boretto.

This is the longest curved suspended bridge in the world - 290 meters (950 feet) long each way. The large X in the middle is 138 meters (450 ft) tall, and a set of 144 steel cables were used to hold the structure of the curved roads.

At rush hour, about 5,000 vehicles per hour will cross the bridge each way.

The Octávio Frias de Oliveira bridge is the only cable stayed bridge in the world that has two curved roads connected to the same tower.

After three years of construction, the bridge is considered one of the main touristic spots in the city.
