[QUOTE="Friend from Barquinha, post: 1161605, member: 86536"] According to this new story, you can walk to/across the bridge, but can't go any further because the new riverside boardwalk is not complete in the next municipality beyond Lisbon (Loures). Translation: "There is a new landmark in the landscape between Lisbon and Loures The Trancão cycle pedestrian bridge is finished and open (temporarily). The cycling and pedestrian bridge over the River Trancão is inaugurated and opened, establishing, for the first time, a connection between the riverside banks of Lisbon and Loures. The bridge, made of steel and wood, will allow you to reach Vila Franca de Xira by bicycle or on foot when the new Ribeirinho de Loures Route is ready. For now, it will serve World Youth Day and the thousands of pilgrims expected between the 1st and 6th of August. Until World Youth Days start, the bridge will be available for its population to enjoy. Despite not having an exit from the Loures side, the new infrastructure already allows you to enjoy a new view of the mouth of the Trancão, as well as the riverside margins of the two municipalities. With a total length of 280 meters and an average width of 5.5 meters, the bridge connects the cycling and pedestrian networks of the municipalities of Lisbon and Loures, contributing to a more interconnected metropolitan area. When Loures finishes its Percurso Ribeirinho – a system of wooden walkways along the bank of the Tagus –, it will be possible to reach Vila Franca de Xira, where there are already several cycling and pedestrian routes along the river. However, according to the Câmara de Loures, the walkways should only open after the World Youth Day, in mid-August. The inauguration of the Trancão cycle pedestrian bridge was attended by the mayors of Lisbon and Loures, Carlos Moedas and Ricardo Leão, with the Cardinal-Patriarch, D. Manuel Clemente, and also with the President of the World Youth Day Foundation, D. .Americo Aguiar. This is the first work to be completed for World Youth Day. It resulted from an investment of 4.1 million euros, co-financed with European funds, and carried out by EMEL and the municipality of Lisbon. The material with which it was built, mostly wood-based, but also with steel structures, makes this bridge a piece well integrated into the surrounding environment. Its construction contributed simultaneously to the rehabilitation of this area of the city, facing the Tagus River, where the Tagus Park is being extended to serve as the main venue for the Journey. For now and in the future, the bridge will link three natural elements: the green space in the Lisbon area, the river Trancão and the new green area in the Loures area, sustainably enhancing this vast riverside area. Under the impetus of World Youth Day and the new public space that is being built next to Trancão, other infrastructures have been created in that area. This is the case of station nº 115 of the GIRA, the closest to the new bridge and the site of the Journey; this station was increased from 12 to 28 docks. [I][GIRA is the bike-rental system in Lisbon.] [/I]The Sacavém railway station, which serves the municipality of Loures and the northern area of Parque das Nações, also received improvement works, with the creation of a new access, a car park and rest areas."
