New Portimão Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Portimão, Portugal.
The concrete structure spans across the Arade River with two main towers supporting a 256-meter deck through a system of cables.
Constructed in 1991, the bridge provided a solution to traffic congestion caused by the limitations of the century-old crossing structure.
The bridge stands as an example of Portuguese engineering advancement, marking the transformation of regional infrastructure in the Algarve region.
The bridge carries National Road 125 across the Arade River, providing an essential connection between the municipalities of Portimão and Lagoa.
Portuguese Post Office featured the bridge in their 2008 stamp collection dedicated to significant engineering structures across the country.
