Ponte Vasco da Gama, Lisboa, Portugal

Driving along Highway A12 from Montijo on the southern side of Tejo/Tagus-river, crossing the bridge, and exiting A12 at (exit 1)Sacavém for road IC2 toward Lisboa and exiting at Moscavide...where the camera drops!

The Vasco da Gama Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte Vasco da Gama, is a cable-stayed bridge flanked by viaducts and roads that spans the Tagus River near Lisbon, capital of Portugal.It is the longest bridge in Europe (including viaducts), with a total length of 17.2 km (10.7 mi), including 0.829 km (0.5 mi) for the main bridge, 11.5 km (7.1 mi) in viaducts, and 4.8 km (3.0 mi) in dedicated access roads.
