Fotos da Ponte Estaiada Mestre João Isidoro França, sobre o Rio Poty, também conhecida por “Ponte do Sesquicentenário”, que homenageia o mestre-de-obras português que planejou o traçado urbano da cidade de Teresina. O mais novo marco arquitetônico da cidade é uma obra de concreto armado protendido com 363 metros de extensão, estando entre as 100 maiores pontes estaiadas do mundo. Tem torre única, sendo assimétrica e sustentada por 35 estaios em harpa e quatro pilares, um na margem direita do rio e outros três na margem esquerda, não havendo pilares no leito fluvial. Possui três faixas de rolamento em cada sentido, com ciclovias e faixas para pedestres. A torre da ponte tem 96 metros de altura, constituindo-se em uma das mais altas estruturas da cidade. Em seu topo encontra-se um mirante de 125 metros quadrados, com vista de 360° e capacidade para mais de 100 visitantes simultâneos, sendo alcançado por dois elevadores panorâmicos. Pouquíssimas pontes no mundo possuem esta característica, nenhuma com um ponto de observação tão alto. A torre e os estaios são iluminados por projetores que mudam de cor periodicamente.
Images of "Mestre João Isidoro França" cable-stayed bridge, over Poty River, a homage to the Portuguese Foreman who designed the urban trace of Teresina. The newest landmark of the city was built in prestressed concrete, spanning 363 meters and ranked among the 100 largest cable-stayed bridges in the world. It has a single pylon, with a harp design, supported by 35 cables and four pillars, located on the right banks of the river (the tower itself) and other four on the left side; there are no pillars within the river bed. There are six lanes for cars (three on each side) in addition to cycleways and passages for pedestrians. The pylon has 95 mts high, one of the highest structures in the whole town, holding a 360° observation deck on its top with 125 square meters, reached through two panoramic elevators. Very few bridges in the world have this kind of feature, and none with such a high observation point. The pylon and the cables are illuminated by spotlights, whose colors change from time to time.
