PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Vasco da Gama Bridge in Lisbon, Portugal is an immense cable-stayed
bridge project which took years to plan and design and
construct. The actual construction time of this structure
represented a world record for a
bridge of this scale. The center span is cable-stayed, while the
approach spans are concrete, box girder spans, which were constructed
using the balance cantilever method. On March 31, 1998 the Vasco da
Gama Bridge was officially open.
