The Bridges of Porto - a slide show

In fact a bit earlier a Portuguese engineer, Almeida d'Eça, has been charged to prepare a study for a double decked bridge.

The plan is clearly inspired in Maria Pia Bridge.

This study must have been the base for an international competition some years later, and as far as we know, is the first time that a bridge of this type has been proposed.
