jk bridge

Nice view of the Paranoá Lake. A breath-taking sunset. (Especially if you have the right company). The JK bridge is one of Brasilia's post-cards.

It is as beautiful as people say, but...Its maintenance has been neglected so much that...Its painting is never nice and sometimes there are a few roles which prevent some of its lanes to be open for regular traffic...

One of Brasilia's monuments. Beautiful bridge, with people exercising/running on its sides and the nice Paranoa Lake on the scenario.

This bridge serves the city beautifully. It connects is very nicely, and suits the architecture very well. I always enjoy driving over it.

Delightful modern bridge, very functional also. Particularly attractive as one drives towards it and the arches appear to move, apparently to resemble waves. Yet another Brasilia work of art.

One of the most beautiful beautiful bridge in the world. Beautiful architecture. There are some restaurants near there; however, they are very pricey.

We sat on QI 23 on the hilltop with a great view of JK bridge at 11:45 pm. All around us were people in cars with champagne. The 3 loops of the bridge glowed in the night sky and the Fireworks at midnight New Years Eve were spectacular! They glimmered on the water and made the JK look like a Hollywood movie. As a bonus, fireworks went off all along the Paranoa Lake around the bridge. A memorable sight! I don't know if you can stand on the bridge at midnight New Years are but parking below gave a better view. We paddle board below the JK bridge routinely and there are rental places for windsurfing and Stand up Paddleboarding and kayaking by the hour..most around $15 for 1 1/2 hours. It's a great place to visit for the day with boat rides, restaurants and a playground. You can park on either side of the bridge and take amazing photos day or night. It has a 4000 feet across pathway that is fun to walk or ride a bike across like the San Francisco bridge. This iconic bridge captivates!

Many visitors think it was designed by Oscar Niemeyer, but it was not. And it overran its budget by 300 per cent (the locals are still paying for it) and now needs cleaning. Neverthless, an impressive sight from the access roads, particularly at night.

I love going down to the JK at especially at night when its all lit up it takes on a whole different look and can be seen from different parts of the city with the lights shinnying on it. There is a little park down by the bridge where kids can play and several restaurants that you can try out. Bridge is also accessible by foot if you care to walk or jog across it. In my experience hanging out there, there's never a lot of people there,so it's also quite peaceful.

When a bridge is not a bridge? When it's an architectural gem. It is a statement bridge really worth your time

This is one of Brasilia Simbol, like the Golden Gate in San Francisco, is a beautiful arquitectonic job.

The bridge is too beautiful and it worths visiting.The brige is not too long but the view is amazing.

Once here, you could enjoy the water, try out the local food from the little refreshment booths all around the place, or splurge on the expensive restaurants around it. Or, you could try the ferry tour and take in the beautiful architecture of the bridge and the blue lake Paranoa and relax with some food and drink at the anchored bar on the water (owned by the ferry ride people). But whatever you do, please remember to arrange for a cab to get back from here, because it can be extremely difficult finding one on the bridge or anywhere around it!

Beautiful, elegant, and original architecture! Worth admiring close up and from a distance. I guess you need a car to get there.

It's simple, because it was designed by Niemeyer, I am not an architect, but if you are one and if you ever come to Brazil, you must see all the work he did for the country, so be prepared to travel a lot inside the country
