25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon

Opened in 1966, the 25 de Abril Bridge crosses over the Tagus river to connect the city of Lisbon with the municipality of Almada.

During my trip to Lisbon in fall 2022, I had the opportunity to see the suspension bridge in person, and immediately noticed the similarities between it and the Golden State Bridge in San Francisco. 

Not only is the bridge open to car traffic, but it was also renovated to allow for trains to cross over the river as well.
