World’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge Arouca 516 opens in Portugal

The world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge has been completed in Portugal. The bridge, Arouca 516, sits 175 metres above the River Paiva in the north of the country. Its 516 metre-long walkway breaks the record previously held by the Charles Kuonen Bridge in the Swiss Alps. Located near the tiny town of Arouca and within the Unesco-recognised Arouca Geopark, the bridge took two years to construct and is held up by steel cables and two large towers on each side Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► World’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge opens in Portugal ► The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
