Wikipedia: 516 Arouca is a pedestrian bridge in Arouca in northern Portugal, which is constructed as a suspension bridge. At 516 m long, it replaces the 494 m long Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge (Valais, Switzerland) as the pedestrian bridge with the longest span in the world. It crosses the gorge of the Paiva River at a height of 175 m. Planning began in 2016, construction began in 2017. Due to execution problems and geological difficulties, the originally planned location of the bridge had to be relocated. The bridge was completed in July 2020. The construction costs were around 2.1 million euros. The opening was set for May 2, 2021

The claim about the longest bridge is no longer true. The Sky Bridge 721 in the Czech Republic is now the record holder.

The access from Alvarenga is not so crowded and the bridge can be accessed from both sides.
