Pont 25 de Avril

Today we took a ferry across the river to see the 25 de Abril Bridge or 25th of April Bridge which is a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon to the municipality of Almada on the left bank of the Tejo river. It was opened on August 6, 1966, and a train platform was added in 1999. Because it is a suspension bridge and has similar colouring, it is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in America but it was built by the American Bridge Company which constructed the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, but not the Golden Gate.
