Bridge on the Tagus river (1998)
The Vasco de Gama bridge was inaugurated in 1998. The structure, which is 17 kilometres long, includes a main cable-stayed bridge824 metre long, four viaducts, respectively 488 metres, 672 metres, 6,531 metres and 3,825 metres long, an interchange, and a toll-gate/services area. The entire structure is built to resist earthquakes four times stronger than the one that destroyed Lisbon in 1755. The project was managed by Campenon Bernard and is currently operated by VINCI under a concession contract.
