However, after more than 50 years of ideas and projects, the construction of this bridge was attributed to the same North American company. Originally known as Ponte Salazar, this engineering work would go down in the city&#8217;s history for several reasons. Having cost less than anticipated and being executed in record time were certainly two of them.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-e-com-muitas-historias-para-contar\">And with many stories to tell<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original name, Ponte Salazar, resulted from a tribute to the President of the Council of Ministers of the time. However, soon after the Revolution of April 1974, its name was changed to <strong>April 25th Bridge<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a total length of about 2,280 m, the grandeur of this Bridge is impossible to go unnoticed. At the time of its <a href=\"https:\/\/lisbonsightsailing.com\/50o-aniversario-da-ponte-tejo\/\">inauguration<\/a>, on August 6, 1966, it was the fifth largest suspension bridge in the world and the largest outside the United States. Fifty years later, it remains among the group of the 20 largest suspension bridges in the world.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although built for the exclusive circulation of cars, in 1999, it also began to allow rail traffic.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While pedestrian crossing is not allowed, every year the April 25th Bridge is filled with thousands of athletes from all over the world. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lisbonsightsailing.com\/en\/lisbon-half-marathon-on-the-25th-of-april-bridge\/\">Lisbon Half Marathon<\/a>, which takes place in March, is already a landmark in the city&#8217;s sports. Thus, it also constitutes a unique opportunity to step on the bridge deck.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you pass under this grand structure, you can hear the sound of cars and trains moving. At 70 meters above the river level, the partly metal deck creates a hum that can be heard hundreds of meters away. It is absolutely impressive.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On September 27, 2017, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitlisboa.com\/pt-pt\/locais\/experiencia-pilar-7\">Pillar 7 Experience<\/a><\/strong> was inaugurated. Without a doubt the second best view over Lisbon.
