Audio Guide of João Isidoro França Cable-Stayed Bridge

The João Isidoro França Cable-Stayed Bridge (the official name of the Cable-Stayed Bridge) is open 24 hours a day, as it is a public roadway. To get there, you can use public transportation, a taxi, or ride-hailing apps. It spans the Poti River, connecting Raul Lopes Avenue with Cajuína Avenue in Teresina.

Good news! Access to the Cable-Stayed Bridge is completely free, as it is city infrastructure. You can enjoy the views and cross it at no cost. However, if you want to go up to the lookout, there is an admission fee.

To cross the bridge and enjoy the views from the sides, about 30 to 45 minutes will be enough. If you plan to go up to the lookout, I would recommend between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes so you can enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace and take photos. For more details about the lookout, you can look for information from the Teresina tourism office.

The João Isidoro França Cable-Stayed Bridge, inaugurated in 2010, is an architectural and engineering landmark and a true modern symbol of Teresina. Its construction significantly improved traffic flow between the eastern and northern areas of the city and has become a tourist attraction thanks to its avant-garde design and the impressive views it offers of the city and the Poti River.

Definitely, the best time to visit the Cable-Stayed Bridge and its lookout is at sunset. The view of the sun setting over the Poti River and the city is spectacular. As for the time of year, the months with less rain (May to October) usually offer clearer skies. I suggest checking the weather forecast here before your visit.

Yes, the Cable-Stayed Bridge has access ramps on its sides for pedestrians, which makes access to the bridge itself easier for people with reduced mobility. For the lookout, elevators are available. I recommend checking the availability and condition of the elevators on the Teresina City Hall website to be sure on the day of your visit.

Near the Cable-Stayed Bridge, you can explore Poti Environmental Park, ideal for a walk and outdoor activities. You will also find the Mestre Dezinho Craft Center to buy local handicrafts, and Raul Lopes Avenue, an area with restaurants and leisure options. For more ideas, visit the Teresina Tourism website.

Of course! Bring your camera to capture the stunning views, especially if you visit at sunset. Consider going up to the lookout for a unique perspective. Wear comfortable shoes if you plan to walk. If you are going by car, look for nearby parking. And do not forget to stay hydrated, as Teresina can be very hot. Enjoy this architectural wonder.
