The Prince Henry (Infante D. Henrique) Bridge, engineered by Adão da Fonseca, was opened in 2003, and it was built to replace the upper deck lane of the Luís I Bridge, used now by the metro line D. With a 371 meters long and 20 meters wide deck, this Maillart-type arch bridge, built at a high altitude level and presenting a span-rise ratio of 11,2 with a 280 m arch span is a world record.
