Ponte do Prado

Ponte do Prado is a bicycle bridge that crosses the Cávado River in Palmeira, connecting both riverbanks with a dedicated pathway for cyclists and pedestrians. The structure provides easy access from either side and integrates with local paths in the area.

The bridge was built as a modern infrastructure project to improve sustainable transportation options for residents and visitors. It represents a contemporary approach to regional development and active mobility planning.

The bridge embodies the community's commitment to sustainable mobility and shows how local infrastructure can encourage people to choose cycling over driving. It serves as a meeting point for residents who value active transportation.

The bridge is easily accessible from both sides of Palmeira and connects smoothly with local paths and recreational areas. Visitors should be aware of potentially slippery surfaces, especially during wet weather.

The bridge incorporates local materials into its construction, blending seamlessly with the Cávado River landscape. This design choice makes it feel like part of the environment rather than an imposed structure.
