The 25 de Abril Bridge is a suspension road-rail bridge over the Tagus River that connects the city of Lisbon (north bank) to the city of Almada (south bank) in Portugal. The bridge crosses the Tagus estuary at the end and narrowest – the so-called Tagus bottleneck.
The bridge is 2,277 meters long. With a free span of 1,013 meters, the 25 de Abril Bridge is the 33rd largest suspension bridge in the world. The upper tray houses 6 roadways (3 per way), while the lower tray houses two electrified railway lines at 25 kv AC.
Projects for the construction of a bridge over the Tagus estuary have been around since the late 19th century; However, it was not until the 1950s that the Portuguese government of the Estado Novo advanced with the construction of a bridge to connect the two banks of the Lisbon metropolitan area. Construction began in November 1962 and lasted for four years. The Bridge was inaugurated on August 6, 1966, then only with a road board. On July 29, 1999 the railway board was inaugurated. The 25 de Abril Bridge was granted to the private company Lusoponte in 1996, which was also commissioned to build the Vasco da Gama Bridge. The granting of these two bridges ends in March 2030.
Until 1974, the 25th of April Bridge was called the Salazar Bridge. The name April 25 refers to the revolution of April 25, 1974.
The National Shrine of Christ the King is located at an altitude of 133 meters above the Tagus level, consisting of a porch designed by the 75-meter-high architect Antonio Lino, topped by the statue of the Holy Redeemer with open arms facing the city of Lisbon, 28 meters high, by Portuguese sculptor Francisco Franco de Sousa. The pedestal, including the portico, rises to 82 meters in height. The sanctuary and monument to Christ the King is the biggest tourist attraction in the municipality of Almada.
This monument is the best viewpoint overlooking the city of Lisbon, offering a wide view over the capital and the 25 de Abril Bridge. In numerous tourist reports about Lisbon, there is the sanctuary and monument to Cristo Rei, a former Almada landmark.
It is one of the tallest buildings in Portugal, 110 meters high.
