The Lezíria Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte da Lezíria) is a box girder bridge^[3] flanked by viaducts and rangeviews that spans the Tagus river and the Sorraia River between Carregado and Benavente, north-east of Lisbon, capital of Portugal. It is the third-longest bridge in Europe (including viaducts) with a total length of 12 km. The main bridge spans 972 m over the Tagus and the Sorraia rivers. The span lengths are 95 m - 127 m - 133 m - 4 × 130 m - 95 m.

The bridge was constructed in 21 months using the balanced cantilever method and opened to traffic in July 2007.^{[citation needed]}
