Infante Dom Henrique bridge, Concrete arch bridge in Bonfim and Santa Marinha, Portugal
The Infante Dom Henrique Bridge extends 371 meters across the Douro River, connecting Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia through four traffic lanes.
The bridge opened in 2003 to replace vehicular traffic on the Dom Luis I Bridge upper deck, which was converted for Porto Metro Line D.
The structure bears the name of Prince Henry the Navigator, born in Porto in 1394, who directed Portuguese maritime expansion in the 15th century.
The bridge carries vehicles on four lanes and includes three-meter-wide sidewalks on both sides, providing passage between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
The bridge holds a record for concrete arch bridges with its 280-meter span and shallow rise-to-span ratio, using innovative structural engineering solutions.
