Third Tagus Crossing, Cable-stayed bridge project in Lisbon, Portugal.

The Third Tagus Crossing extends 15 kilometers across the Tagus River, connecting the districts of Chelas in Lisbon to Barreiro on the southern bank.

The bridge project emerged as part of the strategic development of the Lisbon-Madrid and Lisbon-Seville high-speed railway connections through the RAVE initiative.

The design by Lavigne & Cheron architecture firm incorporates engineering elements that reflect Portuguese infrastructure advancement in the 21st century.

The structure includes three road lanes and two railway tracks in each direction, enabling both vehicular traffic and train transportation between the river banks.

The bridge design features towers reaching 198 meters in height, with foundations extending 70 meters deep through piles measuring 2.5 meters in diameter.
