The bridge is notable for its six curvilinear polygonal arches, with a total length of 232 metres. In 1973, it was named after Admiral Sarmento Rodrigues, a prominent Portuguese politician and military man. The structure is an outstanding example of bridge engineering of the period and remains an important landmark in the region.
