    Luis I Bridge (pass by)

    The mythical bridge! Transport and communications architecture, 19th century. 19. Iron bridge, for road, rail and pedestrian traffic, made up of two metallic decks, supported by a large iron arch and five pillars. The decks located at different levels, and with different dimensions, adapting to the riverbanks, allow access to different points in the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. The entire structure is made up of straight and parabolic beams, filled with other vertical beams supported by others that are crossed or perpendicular. The construction of the bridge played with the deep valley in which it is inserted, through two decks, placed at different heights and lengths.

Maria Pia and D. Luís bridges) in order to respond to the growing flow of road traffic.At the time of its construction in 1963, the bridge had the largest reinforced concrete arch of any bridge in the world.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Private Boat Tour in the Douro to the D. Louis Bridge?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
