Arrábida Bridge
Arrábida Bridge
The Arrábida Bridge was the second bridge between Porto and VNGaia to be built for road traffic, being one of the six bridges still existing in the city of Porto, these being by order of construction the Ponte de Maria Maria Pia, Ponte Luís I, the Arrábida Bridge itself, the Ponte de São João, the Freixo Bridge and the Ponte do Infante.
Around the 1940s, it was observed that the traffic on Ponte Luís I, between Porto and VNGaia, was very difficult, mainly due to the demographic expansion of the Porto district and the municipality of VNGaia. need for an alternative crossing. In March 1952 the J.A.E. (Autonomous Board of Roads) awarded the preparation of the preliminary projects to a world-renowned Bridges Engineer - Professor Edgar Cardoso. The project was to be approved in 1955 and completed in 1963.
Although many reputed engineers from some countries have stated that the bridge in this format would not last long, this work of art still stands.
