Açude-ponte de Coimbra, Weir and road bridge on Mondego River in Coimbra, Portugal.
The Açude-ponte de Coimbra combines a weir structure with a road bridge, creating a water reservoir while enabling vehicle traffic across the Mondego River.
The construction of this infrastructure project began in 1978 and reached completion in 1981, establishing a permanent water mirror in front of Coimbra city.
The structure maintains water levels for recreational activities and urban landscape enhancement, contributing to the daily life of Coimbra residents.
The weir-bridge measures 6.2 meters in height with a storage capacity of 1.6 million cubic meters, while the reservoir reaches depths of 18 meters.
A fish passage system installed in 2011 has enabled more than three million fish to migrate through the structure in its first two years of operation.
