Description
Do not miss this opportunity to go up to the São João bridge and visit its interior. The second bridge Edgar Cardoso projected over the Douro river is another “masterpiece” of this engineer and follows the legacy of the Arrábida Bridge, in its technical exceptionality but also in its sculptural elegance. It is made of one continuous piece in reinforced concrete and forms a double circulation lane with 1140 meters that connects the North to the South of the country. It was inaugurated on S. João do Porto day in 1991 to replace the centenary D. Maria II bridge that had closed sometime that year.
