The supporting structure is submerged under the lake. Three asymmetrical steels arches that cross over the bridge support the weight of the deck, that is suspended by steel cables attached to those arches. The length of the bridge is 1,200 meters, and is also accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. 
The project team was architect Alexandre Chan and structural engineer Mário Vila Verde. The JK Bridge has won many awards since its inauguration in 2002, and became one of Brasilia's favorite landmark.

Essa ponte é linda! Quando eu fui à Brasília ela não existia ainda. Fiquei com vontade de ir de novo lá, só pra vê-la. Bjs. Fatima.
