On September 18, 1888, the load tests of the bridge were carried out. Painted deep blue
In the case of the Os Peares test, days later it was reported how it was. "Four road cylinders and two large carts full of stone, drawn by 24 pairs of oxen, passed by with all happiness, without the enormous weight of 40 tons lowering the bridge more than half an inch, nor were the lateral movements of importance".
