Tracking Lisbon's train travel history #otdiph
On this day in Portuguese history, May 7th, the lower deck of the 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon was officially inaugurated for rail traffic. Before this, the bridge only carried cars.
Adding the train line (Fertagus) revolutionised the commute between the south bank (Margem Sul) and Lisbon, drastically reducing traffic and travel time.
So the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon wasn't always for trains, but in what year - on this very day - did the first train finally cross the bridge’s lower deck to connect Lisbon and Setúbal?
