"It was built according to a project from 1889, included in the study of the road between Mondim de Basto and Covelinhas, and inaugurated in May 1904."

"This is an evident progress, given that the existence of the Bridge, allowing the connection between the two banks, not only provided a pleasant place to walk, but above all, made it possible to expand the town to an area where, for reasons of difficult access, the population insisted on not install."

"In 1951 I had improvement works
- widening of the road platform to 7.0m (two lanes);
- widening (remodeling) of the side walkways for pedestrian circulation to
2.0m, including providing for their protection and coverage;
- adequacy of the support capacity of the structure to the overloads currently in use
force in the regulations applicable to this type of structures."
