Designed by the engineers Cecil Balmond and Adão da Fonseca, and opened in November 2006, the bridge, part of the Polis Programme, was built to connect the right and left banks of the Mondego.
275 metres long and 4 metres wide, it has a ‘square’ in the middle, 8 metres wide. The walkway is of wood, and the side railings support yellow, blue, green and pink glass panels. The bridge is already an architectural icon: specialists have seen it as “revolutionary but elegant”, “a piece of engineering audacity”.
