The Vasco da Gama Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge flanked by viaducts and rangeviews that spans the Tagus River in Parque das Nações in Lisbon, capital of Portugal. It is the longest bridge in Europe (including viaducts), with a total length of 17.2 kilometres, including 0.8 kilometres for the main bridge, 11.5 kilometres in viaducts, and 4.8 kilometres in dedicated access roads.

Construction began on February 1995; the bridge was opened to traffic on 29 March 1998, just in time for Expo 98.
