Description
The 25 de Abril Bridge (25th of April Bridge) is a suspension bridge spanning the Tagus River and connecting the city of Lisbon to the municipality of Almada on the south bank of the river. It was inaugurated in August 1966. Up until 1974, the bridge was named The Salazar Bridge (Ponte Salazar) in honor of Portuguese Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar, who ordered its construction. After the Carnation Revolution which overthrew the remnants of Salazar's dictatorship, the bridge was renamed for April 25, the date of the revolution. The bridge is sometimes referred to also as the Tagus River Bridge or the San Francisco Bridge. The reason is it is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge because they are both suspension bridges of similar color.
The bridge is about 2,277 metres (7,470 ft) and is the 40th largest suspension bridge in the world. The upper deck carries 6 car lanes, while the lower deck carries a double track electrified railway.
