Ponte Marechal Carmona, Road bridge in Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal.
The Ponte Marechal Carmona spans 1224 meters across the Tagus River with a central deck of 524 meters divided into five 104-meter sections.
The bridge construction started in 1948 after multiple requests from Vila Franca de Xira municipality since 1924, finally opening on December 30, 1951.
The bridge name refers to Portuguese Republic President Oscar Carmona, reflecting the political context of Portugal during the mid-20th century.
This infrastructure remains the only toll-free crossing over the Tagus River in both directions, connecting the northern and southern regions of Portugal.
The inauguration ceremony featured Craveiro Lopes and Salazar arriving in a Landau carriage, now preserved in the Horse Carriage Museum.
