About Dom Luís I Bridge
The Luiz I Bridge, commonly known as Dom Luís I Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luís I), is a double-deck metal arch bridge that spans the river Douro between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia in Portugal. At its construction, its 172 metres (564 ft) span was the longest of its type in the world. It can be confused with the nearby Maria Pia Bridge, a railway bridge that was built 9 years earlier (and is located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the east), which is similar in aspect to the Luiz I bridge. Today, the bridge's upper level is used by pedestrians and by line D of the Porto Metro, whilst buses, taxis, cyclists, and pedestrians use the lower level.
