Freixo Bridge, Road bridge in Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal.
The Freixo Bridge stretches 1029 meters across the Douro River, connecting the Campanhã district of Porto with Oliveira do Douro in Vila Nova de Gaia.
The construction of Freixo Bridge began in the early 1990s and reached completion in 1995, providing an additional crossing point over the Douro River.
The bridge name derives from the Portuguese word for ash trees that grew in abundance near the construction site along the Douro riverbanks.
Located at coordinates 41.141712, -8.580866, the bridge serves as a main traffic artery for vehicles traveling between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
Architect António José Luís dos Reis designed this eight-span structure to complement existing crossings while reducing traffic on the Arrábida and Dom Luís I bridges.
