The Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge, often referred to as the JK Bridge, is an iconic structure in Brasília, Brazil. Officially inaugurated on December 15, 2002, the bridge spans Lake Paranoá and connects the central part of the city with the southern shore. Designed by architect Alexandre Chan and structural engineer Mário Vila Verde, the bridge is renowned for its unique and striking architectural elements, including three asymmetrical steel arches that support the deck via steel cables. These sweeping arches, which diagonally cross the bridge, give it a distinctive and modern aesthetic. The bridge honors Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira, the 21st President of Brazil, who is credited with founding Brasília.
