     History
    Originally named Ponte Salazar, it was renamed to it's current title following the Carnation Revolution in 1974. Often confused with the Golden Gate Bridge, it is painted the same international orange but was built by the American Bridge Company which in fact only built the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
