St John's bridge (Porto)

Portugal / Norte / Oliveira do Douro / Porto
 bridge, railway bridge
This railway structure, by Edgar Cardoso, connects Campanhã station in Porto to all southern destinations, the first station being General Torres in Vila Nova de Gaia. Its central span of 250 m, was a new world record among the bridges in "portico". The three spans are supported by two large piers grounded in the riverbed close to the riverbanks. The inauguration took place on June 24, 1991, the day of São João (Saint John).
