The Arrabida Bridge, Portugal

douro river bridge

The Arrabida Bridge is an arch bridge over the River Douro, Portugal. Built in 1963, its engineer and constructor is Edgar Cardoso. The bridge is 70 m above the water and spans 252 m. It carries a roadway 25 m wide and 615m long, which is the major access to the Oporto city. The reinforced-concrete arch is 52m tall and the plate rises up to 70m above water level. Arrabida Bridge was for sometime the widest single span concrete bridge in the world. Today this construction is 9th longest concrete arch bridge in the world. And now, I am leaving you to enjoy with the amazing photos of this spectacular bridge…. :P
