Completed in 1966, the bridge is 2,277 meters long and features a main span of 1,013 meters, making it one of the longest bridges in Europe. Originally named the Ponte Salazar, the bridge was renamed after the Carnation Revolution on April 25, 1974, which ended the dictatorship in Portugal. It is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco due to its similar coloring and design. The bridge is a vital transportation link and a popular tourist attraction.
