Interestingly, the 25 of April Bridge in Lisbon was made by the American Bridge Company, same as the Bay Bridge, but not the Golden Gate. And yes, it's normal.

Interestingly, the 25 of April Bridge in Lisbon was made by the American Bridge Company, same as the Bay Bridge, but not the Golden Gate.
And yes, it's normal. That bridge is very well maintained (there's a whole team there working daily, afaik, and I've witnessed many interventions in the past).
- rob74 2y agoNow that you mention it, the diagonal braces on the piers (no idea how they're actually called) look very similar to the Bay Bridge. But to the casual observer, the number of piers and the color look more like the Golden Gate bridge, plus that's by far the better known one, so I'm not surprised it got this nickname...
- tiagod 2y agoI agree, and it's a very common misconception among locals that it's related to the Golden Gate bridge
