Description
Built as an alternative railway connection to the D. Maria Bridge, the São João Bridge was the first in the city made with a continuous multiple portico in reinforced concrete and not by an arch. The last project and a fundamental work by Edgar Cardoso, it is an example of his method of experimental work and the 7 years of its construction were marked by several controversies, culminating in his absence from the inauguration. Take advantage of this occasion to visit the double cell coffin beam interior and the trapezoidal section.
