The Freixo Bridge, or Ponte do Freixo, spans the Douro River between Vila Nova de Gaia and Porto in Portugal. António Reis and Daniel de Sousa designed it. It opened in 1995. The article does not name a client or give construction dates, materials or a style.
The bridge has eight spans and a total length of 705 meters (2,313 feet). It carries motor vehicles only. The article gives no width, height, materials or construction dates, and it does not name a client.
It gives drivers an alternative to the Arrábida Bridge and the Dom Luís I Bridge, which also cross the Douro in the same city. The Douro separates Porto on the north bank from Vila Nova de Gaia on the south bank, and the Freixo Bridge joins the two.
