Wow! Photos of suspension bridge construction are always both interesting and terrifying to me. I’m truly glad I didn’t have to walk down those gangways.
The bridge used to be called Salazar Bridge, but following the Carnation Revolution which overthrew the Estado Novo regime and led the restoration of democracy, the bridge was renamed 25 de Abril Bridge.
