Ponte de Amizade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ponte de Amizade or Friendship Bridge (Chinese: 友誼大橋, also known as 新澳氹大橋) is a four-lane, two-way bridge connecting Macau Peninsula near the Reservatório and the island of Taipa at Pac On. It is the second bridge in Macau to connect the peninsula and Taipa.
Construction started in June 1990. Opened to traffic in March 1994, it is the longest of the three bridges connecting Macau Peninsula and Taipa, with a length of 4,700 metres, including 800 metres of connecting viaduct, and a width of 18 metres. There are two crests on the bridge to allow for the passage of sea traffic. The highest point of the bridge is 30 metres above sea level. The two entrances on the peninsula are at Avenida de Amizada near the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal and at Avenida da Ponte da Amizade in Areia Preta. The two entrances on the northern slope of Taipa Grande are at Estrada de Pac On, that connects to Pac On, and at Estrada Almirante Magalhães Correia, that connects with the Centro of Taipa (Vila Taipa).
