Ponte de Santa Clara, Road bridge in Coimbra, Portugal
The Ponte de Santa Clara extends across the Mondego River, connecting both sides of Coimbra with its concrete structure and wide traffic lanes.
Engineer Edgar Cardoso designed this bridge, which Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar inaugurated on October 30, 1954, after three years of construction.
The bridge stands near the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova and Santa Clara-a-Velha, forming part of the historical district's architectural landscape.
This main crossing point serves thousands of vehicles and pedestrians daily, providing direct access between central Coimbra and the Santa Clara neighborhood.
The construction cost of this bridge reached 15,000 contos, equivalent to 75,000 euros, marking a substantial infrastructure investment for 1950s Portugal.
